This carabiner is great for a variety of things...its great for holding water bottles, hooking things onto key chains, and just making something look cool. I love to hook them…

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…

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…

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'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)

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…

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…

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…

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…
