Great device. The best part is that variable friction thing, to groove or not to groove. This device has a nice, solid feel to it that I have not experienced with other ATC's. Great piece of gear.

Nice enough bag. I have sort of giant hands so am kinda on the lookout for a bigger bag that I can get my whole hand in comfortably, but this was a gift and does the job so I am not complaining.

My first pair of climbing shoes. And they were on clearance, so I got a great deal. My only complaint is that they have stretched a bit, so they do not fit as well as they originally did. But overall, a great shoe. Although, the tongue is over sized and textured so that my foot looks scaley like lizard skin when I take my shoe off. But really comfy shoes. And they look cool. I am not a fan of the pastel and BRIGHT YELLOW shoes that a lot of people seem to have these days. Yep. I'd buy em again, but two sizes smaller.

Love this harness. A big reason why is that the leg loops are so darned comfy. And they minimize unsightly hangdog thigh bulge. Which is an important consideration... I like the not having to double back factor as well as the the pretty blue color which matches my eyes... The only thing that would make this harness perfect is if it had leg loops that unclipped rather than step through. But really, its not a reason NOT to buy this harness.
