Review 4 out of 5 stars

Bought this to replace my Metolius 3-D Freedom harness. Basically the same harness with beefier padding and all the safety extras. I like it alot, but as someone mentioned, the rear gear loops are smaller than normal. I think this is because they had to put in extra stitching tacks for the spectra cord running through the gear loops. Its my only complaint. Trad climbers will definitely be more conscious of it, if you don't use a gear sling then I'd suggest something else.

This is the lightest helmet on the market. It also gives you the advantages of having a hardshell and foam helmet together. Its comfortable and decently ventilated.

Mountaineering bible, no question. It covers pretty much everything.

Excellent guidebook! Very detailed and comprehensive. Topview crag maps are extremely helpful, and its nice that they tell you height of the climbs and how many bolts for sport climbs. A definite must for the red.

I've had this harness for about 6 years and still use it comfortably. Nice features are the adjustable leg loop size and rise. I like the gear loops on it better than the plastic molded ones too.
