Super super comfortable shoe. I can climb hard all day in these and never feel it. Well, actully I usually feel pain as soon as I start climbing but that's because there are big holes in the toes. I refuse to get rid of them!
Great shoes.

Good helmet. I definitly like mine. Not the best though, as it is quite uncomfortable. That could easily be my head though, because no one else I've talked to has noticed it.
But besides that it's light, cheap, and durable. Worth the 55 bucks for sure.

This is a truely great harness. It's easy to use, comfortable, flexible, and fast. The auto-double back thing is great. I'm wearing my harness and ready for my lead before my friends with BD harnesses even have theirs on.

Buy one, you won't regret it.


Reverso 3 Belay/Rappel Device (Manufacturer link) popular Average Rating = 4.38/5 Average Rating : 4.38/5

A great belay device for sure. I like the fact that you can set it up for auto-locking belay. relax your grip a bit.
One complaint I have though is that it does not work well with old or stiff ropes.

These things are great. Easy to place, flexible, narrow, and they're almost twice as strong as the WC zeros.

But they're only good in the smaller sizes. I woulden't get anything bigger then a 1.5
