Alpine Double Portaledge
A two-person wall ledge built on John Middendorf's A5 geometry: the design that defined modern portaledges and went up most of the hard walls of the eighties and nineties. Modular, interchangeable, and individually serviceable, so a damaged part is a replaced part rather than a dead ledge.

Time-tested design from the best to ever do it
There's a reason this portal edge is still in production; it works. I have my first trip to the big stone planned next year, but so far my ledge has only braved the walls of my local gym where it was intuitive to set up on the wall. Kyle is doing an incredible job cranking out ledges at reasonable prices and in record time. I got mine during his first run and he was very communicative with his timeline for fulfillment. Though I wish I could have gotten a D4 Delta ledge, I am very happy with the relative affordability and workmanship of my Alpine Double.
