Jetboil Stove ($80):
Whipping up a batch of tea—or even chicken couscous—at the side of the crag seems like a luxury overshadowed by hassle, until you consider bringing along a Jetboil. These stoves integrate heat and cookware into one unit that's no bigger than a Nalgene bottle and can whip up a cup of hot chocolate in all of 30 seconds. Seriously. The stove burns twice as efficiently as other stoves so the tiny fuel canister can boil a whopping 12 liters of water. Weighing in at only 15 ounces, the Jetboil won't add even a pound to your pack, but it will add significant joy to your day. There are few other gear items out there that can take the edge off a cold session of climbing like this turbocharged boiler. And now you can add new accessories like a French press coffee filter to whip up mugs of joe in seconds. New cooking components hold a skillet so you can make dinner at the crag for all your friends, too. Contact info: 603.863.7700; www.jetboil.com
