Eye candy supreme 5 out of 5 stars

I will have to agree that the "spiritual journey" stuff was a tad heavy, but that may actually be Sharma...I dunno. At any rate this film had great climbs, the exact shot you wanted to see of each move, and it didn't bog down at any point. Malorca is becoming a hot spot and is pretty well covered in this film as well.

I bought this harness because it is so adjustable. It turned out to be extremely comfortable as well. Gear loops are in a good spot. It can be difficult to tighten, but it is usually because the webbing is at an angle on your hip going into the buckle. At any rate I have had much more trouble with single buckle systems and it is not a big enough problem that I would even take it into consideration unless there were two harnesses that were otherwise completely equal.

Best belay out there 5 out of 5 stars

this device offers great flexiblity. my wife is around 90 pounds and i am around 170 so she really likes the extra friction side. I usually use the low friction side unless I am trying to eat a sandwich or belaying a fat guy. to be honest i haven't rapped on it, but the low friction side does not seem that different from the standard atc so if you like that you could always use the LF side.
