Velcro/buckle closure keeps the chalk in on approach. The pocket fits a wallet and keys. I love the custom colors and pattern and the price is great (considering it's custom built to order).

I love the autolocking waistbelt. Doubling back gets to be a hassle during a full day of climbing. The straps are pretty well padded for such a light harness. The colors are mellow and easy on the eyes. The gear loops are sturdy and easy to rack. Fair price too. I've only had it for a few months so I haven't seen it's durability.

Awesome rope!! Great coating. Cool colors. It has been very durable after numerous falls. My buddy has had his for a year and it's still holding up fine.

Good biner. Locking action started getting dirty and wearing out after 6 months of use, but I guess that is expected for a well used locker. I got it as part of a belay package so I'm not too worried about it.

The grigri is great device in the hands of a experienced belayer, but I've personally seen 2 people deck in the gym with one of these.
One time the belayer had his hand over the cam part which prevented the locking cam action when the climber fell.
It's convenient if you know what your doing, but I think too many people think it's fool proof and don't utilize proper belaying techniques. It's not hands free!!!
