In general I would stay away from used gear, especially load bearing stuff like rope, slings and protection.
Good brands include:
– DMM
– Wild Country
– Lyon
– Petit Dru
– Petzl
– Clog
– Black Diamond
– Mad Rock
– Mammut
– Camp
– Grivel
– Metolius
– Beal
– Edelrid
– La Sportiva
– Scarpa
– Red Chili
– Evolv
– Camp
Thats all I can think of for now, there’s probably enough there but I’ll add more as I think of them.
Hope this helps – happy climbing!
