For midweek dawn patrols, all-night approaches, or just big climbing objectives that push beyond daylight,
For a technical user who expects all-around performance and features out of their headlamp but still values a small size and compact package. This user has the need to run the lamp on alkaline batteries if caught away from a power source for a long expedition.

Guide Pick
"I love the BD Spot because it is a straightforward and effective headlamp. Also, it's powered by alkaline batteries, so you can save your battery bank for charging your phone and pack a few extra AAAs instead!" - Charles Harrison, RMI Expeditions Guide

How Guide Pick™ Works
Step 1
The guides over at RMI collectively spend over 10,000+ days a year on the world's highest mountains, climbing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet. They put their gear and apparel through the wringer. This stuff is their work wear and they simply will not tolerate inferior gear.
Step 2
At the end of the climbing season, guides are given a survey to find out what gear they are using and why it is their favorite. We don’t often get complete agreement but we do get alignment and by looking at the data, a few clear winners rise to the top in each category.
Step 3
We take those winners, and stamp them with the Guide Pick™ logo on our site. We also compile this wonderful little document, which you can use to see top contenders, gear advice, Guide Quotes, and more.
