Good biner. I use these on my trad draws, simply because the are cheap and light. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent draw. I have 5 of the 18cm ones. I plan to buy 5 more in this size. They are brilliant for anything. Super cheap. The rubber is superb. In my opinion a draw is often just a draw... but when you find yourself fondling it during your off climbing hours it means it's special. It is the price and the spectra that grabbed me the most.

It's a good rope. At first it tends to be a fairly stiff rope but it softens up nicely with some use. The coil issue? non-existant in my rope. It all depends on how you treat it from the moment you remove it from it's womb. Be good to it and it will be good to you. Mine is orange.

Before these, I had no idea what a good fitting climbing shoe was. Everytime I slip into these, my feet make passionate love with them - smooth, comfy and tight yet gentle sex. These are top class shoes, highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Somehow managed to climb hard on these things for 2 years straight... the shoe is extremely comfortable - gladly do 30 minute walk offs in these and keep them on all day. They are a bit weak in the joins, nevertheless the rubber is quite tough. They don't perform very well in cracks as they tend to be abit irregular/fat on the toe, but they are great for smearing and edging. I would recommend these to anyone. Although, as someone said, I wouldn't pay full price for them (which I didn't) - for that price, I would pick up a pair of Mythos.
