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…

This is our 3rd Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8 and even better now that they offer the rasta-fied pattern. Who doesn't like to advertise that climbin and tokin go hand in han…

In my opinion, these are probably the best all around cams you can buy. I own every size C3 and every size C4 from 0.3 to 4. The largest sizes are really only useful for certa…

If you are looking for a do-it-all, one quiver cam, this will be it. Wide range due to the double axle, making it really easy to find a good placement. There is a reason why t…

A great ascender! I love the smooth push action. Great for ascending a rope! Though the only thing I would improve is how hard it is to get the rope back out by pulling on the…

I've always been a big fan of Sterling Ropes They're durable, supple, and come in some rad color combos. I went with the 60M and got it in blue(to match my beautiful eyes) It…

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 sweet. It's super thin but you can trust it. Its got a great color but fades really fast. Take your time learning it. :D…

I think it is great to be able to switch out the hammer and adze for whichever you will need. The handle allows you to maintain a solid grip longer than you could with any cla…

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…

This rope did great with sport, trad, and of course top rope. But where it really shined was specifically while leading. The smaller diameter made for an easier clip in on tho…

Love it. It's solid, it works, gives me some comfort when I am climbing with a less experienced belayer. Its a bit smoother than my click-up which I like when using the fat ro…
