I bought the 50cm hammer pick version and the 57cm adze version. The 57cm finish was good but the 50cm hammer was not. I noticed that the hammer hex bolts had rounded (ma…

I struggled with trying to get a set of axes that would do everything...these have a nice curve (wish it was more bent) but at 57cm it was a good length. The hand rest is bee…

So far I have been very pleased with this harness. It's comfortable enough to double as a chair...I don't even notice that I'm wearing it when I'm hanging off the wall trying…

I could jump all day in this harness. No worries when tied off and hanging. Leg comfort and hip comfort (big deal for those of us with boney hips) are premium. When using it o…

These are a valuable addition to any rack. These little guys are ideal for aid climbing but they are even more useful in a sketchy situation when you don't have time to fumble…

I use these for basic single-pitch trad, and they work great. They place nicely in horizontals, and they work in really unique places. They are hard to regularly place thoug…

Recently used for a few days during an attempt on Chulu West (6419m) in the Annapurna region of Nepal. I think the best thing about these is how easy they are to fit! Lift t…

This harness is perfect for gym and sport climbing. It definitely will not hold up to much abuse, though. I got this on sale to replace my old Petzl Adjama harness, and I thin…

for general mountaineering, this is a great axe. the steel in the pick and the spike will make sure it doesn't get dulled up, and its stainless steel, so no rusting and staini…

This is a nice mountaineering axe with a terrible leash. The leash just doesn't work very well, it always twists up and it doesn't fold over the top of the axe in a nice way.…
