This is the first rope I've ever bought. Perfect weight/stiffness combo. It gives great catches as well. Everyone I went climbing with this past weekend loved it. The downs…

I was hoping to switch from Trail Pro pad to XLite, but found some drawbacks in the latter: - top is non-fabric and not so comfortable - it's very rustling when tossing and…

So light i don't even realize i have it inside my pack. Best for going ultralight, and yet still cheap. Extremely easy to fill up, and just as easy to deflate. Its about the s…

This is my second rope and love it so far. I have only had two climbing trips on it and was initially worried that the increase in diameter, from 9.8mm, would have an effect…

This rope is a work horse, Great sheath, not to heavy for the size, and flakes out well. Bottom line if you want a rope that is going to last and last for a long time this is…

Nicest rope i've used by far, only tried a dozen or so, but this one feeds through gear the best and half the time i fall just for the fun of barely feeling it. The other half…

I have had many travel duffels over the years, this is THE BEST. I have steered clear of wheeled units due to the weight and bulk, but this one is different. It's not huge in…

An awesome rope all around, smooth belaying, perfectly stiff, and easy to clip. Definitely the thinnest rope I've used before and for sure not as durable as my workhorse cords…

This rope is for those climbers out there who like to cut their feet, flex their biceps and display other freakish acts of strength. When it comes down to it this rope is down…

The Master Cam is a very nice cam, feels very secure - more so than my #3 Camalot. These are made in America which is also a plus. When i first started setting these cams i…

These cams are great, and well worth the money. The single stem design is a welcome change to the usual "U" shaped Metolius cams. These cams sit proudly next to my C4's, and…
