I constantly see other books that teach a certain technique, but Freedom covers them all. And it covers them well. Well writen, easy to follow illistrations.

Since I was already a Camalot fan, I thought the C4's would be a good addition to my rack. I was immediately impressed by the weight difference vs. the older model. Same smooth Camalot feel too. My only complaint is the thumb catch, which could use more aggressive teeth.

The best harness for the money. Period. I spent all day hanging and climbing in this harness with no problems at all. I would give it a 5, but the gear loops on the new model seem to have shrunk.

I pick up one of the old unanodized hexes for really cheap, so I though I'd finish out the set. I just bought the new ones and hacked the wires off. I slung em' with cord and I like that way better. I didn't really think I would end up using them much, but I was wrong. They work great.
