This stuff is bomber. They're ridiculously small, but their holding power and versatility belie their size. I did a hanging belay from a tiny crack on steep slab using 3 of th…

Ive only had a few changes to use this harness but can already tell how great it is. one thing to note is that the gear loops are different than what is in the picture. The ha…

This ice axe is meant for less technical styles of mountaineering but for self arresting and using it as a snow anchor, it works flawlessly. It's not the heaviest or the light…

The Vipers perform very well on waterfall ice. This tool is well-weighted and has a natural swing with very little reverberation upon striking. It is a bit chuckier than the N…

I DO really like this harness, but was unsure about which size to get. I have 22.5 inch thighs (sigh)and a 27 inch waist. So, due to my leg size I was worried about getting th…
