This tent is amazing. I bought this tent for great trips (i.e. Denali) on the horizon but am still in the training mode for said trips. I couldn't be happier with my Trango. T…

The trango 2 is a solid cold weather tent that has got me through some cold weather trips. I like the size and weight for some mild hiking with durable camping. It can be tric…

We took the 4 man on Denali for our team of 3, and it was the perfect. Dividing it between three people you don't notice the weight so much, and having the extra room at the e…

I purchased these sunglasses to use during my study abroad in Antarctica. The large frames did an excellent job cutting out the sun while giving maximum visibility. The soft r…

These boots are great. Just use them for a 18,500 peak, with 5000 vertical climb on 50 degress or more glaciers, and they performed flawlessly. Front pointing, stepping in, et…

From the Peruvian Andes to the Himalaya Range and backpacking The Silk Road, these boots have seen it all. They don't need breaking in, but they run quite narrow, so get a siz…

I've seen this boot on 10 mile approaches. Seen the same boot on different feet on a 5.9 alpine rock route and really hard modern mixed stuff. Same boot different feet agai…

If you’re serious, you need to consider these. Sweet style handmade in Italy. Don’t get cheap boots; save and work for the best-fit you can afford. La Sportiva is seri…

I've got the 5 and 7 (ordered a 6 too but they ran out). Having used these side by side with the Camalots, I have to say that the Flex Cams hold their own. The Flex Cams ha…

I like to mix my rack up a little and find these cams often fit where others do not. Not as solid as BD cams, but they work. Numbers 6 and below I trust.…

Careful, this is the type of gear you buy then end up never using. Most routes you can get gear in either above or below the wide spot, so no need for one of these. But the…

Some say that this is just specialty gear, not true. I often use the #1 (red) in place of my #4 Camalot because if placed properly it is super bomber and does not walk. Thes…

Light, waterproof, fit like a glove, wicks well [feet stay dry though wool socks are pretty damp at end of day], great foot, ankle and stance stability. No break in, just go.…

I struggled to find hiking boots that were comfortable, protective and functional. I tried these on and immediately fell in love! 2 weeks into my backpacking trip everyone had…

You can’t beat this for the price, especially if you are just starting out and want to add some versatility to your rack. For any newbies, if you go with the 48", you can ea…

I bought one just for cleaning routes. Thankfully I don't weigh 5,625 pounds or else I may be in trouble. Simple, great price, visually appealing, diggity dank.…

I'm a fan of the splitters. The extendable slings are awesome and save alot of weight and keep my gear loops from becoming cluttered with excess draws. The narrow head works w…

Exceptional form and functional appearance. Has held much of it's finish after a dozen placements. That said, I don't expect to gain much more insight on these until spring.…

I just bought a set of these (my first stoppers!) and they worked perfectly. I plan on picking up more of the #7-9's for the local pockets. They cam securely and they can ofte…

The Trango top of the line sport draw is great. It clips smooth, comes off the harness great and above all - has a nice dog bone to grab when you REALLY DON'T WANT TO BLOW IT…
- Daniel, 08/16/12

The dogbone is favourite. Stiff and wide. It doesn't twist and you can just grab the dogbone and slam the whole quickdraw into the bolts. But the two exact looking wire gates…

I have not taken a fall on these, but I have included them in an anchor or two. They are solid when you find the right crack for them, but that can be an issue. I thought th…

Love these lil guys in small cracks. Calms down the elvis leg when you're run out and terrified. Only problem with these guys are if you fall on em they're damn near impossibl…

Any time weight is a factor, these draws should be the only draws on your harness. These are easily the lightest draws around, and once you have 10-15 of them racked on your h…

In a sport where weight can make the difference between success & failure, these may be the perferct biner. My rack is heavy enough without adding a bunch of extra weight in…

Really dig this helmut by Trango. Compared to other helmut's, this is really low profile....great for all styles of climbing even off-widths. Finally a helmut that doesn't s…

For the price, these are quite the draw. I have half a dozen of the wire/wire and half a dozen of the wire/straight. They're not the lightest draw out there, but they certainl…
