I never felt safe in a harness.. I never trusted this shit.. I don't know.. when I put a harness on, I don't know how to climb... Trusting something that is 1 cm width, you have to think again before doing it. Free Solo is safer for me, because I trust myself, not something and someone else... Other people, prefer to trust other stuff, not themselves.. I do bouldering. Sometimes I think it's not worth it to lose your life or be severely injured to do sports climbing. You can do very beautiful and hard moves while bouldering, in the end, I gave that harness away to a friend that was really motivated on climbing

I used this shoes for 2 years, it lasted well but is not made for overhangs. Because it's up turned hehehe. But it is really great if you are just starting climbing. you can edge really well with it... you'll be surprised

I don't think I will find a better one, unless La Sportiva Made a better one.. there is one small thing I didn't like, it's that the right shoe get less downturned then the left.. maybe it's a manufacturing problem, but when I am on the rock, I forget about it.

I have it since I started bouldering, and I go in the woods, with lots of bush...and lots of hard roads, it's very light, easy to carry, and the durability is really great, just don't be aware not to scrap it on sharp rocks... lift it up then move it
