Ecrin Roc Helmet (Manufacturer link) popular Average Rating = 4.64/5 Average Rating : 4.64/5

Review 5 out of 5 stars

This is the most comfortable helmet i have worn!!!! Easily adjust the helmet to fit perfectly. Webbing harness interior will last a really long time. This helmet is built for hardcore use. Doubles up as a seat when you need to take a load off. Like all other Petzl products its a little on the pricy side, but if you want a helmet that is going to last, then this is the one.

This is one of my favourite ascenders. really comfy to use. I bought both of mine on sale, but they are a little price. They are a little pricy, but they are worth every penny. I would recommend getting one of them, not both. If you need two ascenders, then get the petzl basic and the petzl ascension. great ascender!

This shoe is really comfortable. I have used quite a few others before, and the Spire is the most comfortable for me. Its a great beginner shoe. Great price. I would recommend it to those of you who are starting, but make sure you try before you buy!!

This is my first rope. I have handled many ropes, but this rope is the cleanest one yet. It ties smoothly, handles great. Its got 11 falls rated on it. The only downside, its a little on the pricy side. but this rope is going to last atleast 5 years (so i'm told, lets just see!!) I definently recommend this rope!!!!!!!


Grigri Belay Device (Manufacturer link) popular Average Rating = 4.24/5 Average Rating : 4.24/5

I really injoy using the grigri when putting up new routes in the gym. the autolocking means i don't have to tie off the grigri like you would when you use an atc (or similar device). The downsides: can only handle a single rope 9.7mm-11mm, can be tricky to feed out rope, very jerky rappel, expensive!!!!!
