Great rope for multi pitch

Written on Sep 03, 2018

Love this rope. Have been using it for a couple months now and every time I use it I am reminded how much I love climbing with this rope. Handles really well, does not get many twists or kinks, and belays really smoothly on guide mode. Bipattern is key. Makes estimating how much rope is out super easy. There is also a small bump when the pattern changes so you can feel it even if you don’t see it

Best biner for racking gear

Written on Sep 03, 2018

Hands down the best mini sized carabiner for racking gear on trad climbs. I think it’s the smallest biner out there that is still rated as a normal biner. They have a very narrow width, meaning you can fit more gear on you loops easily. I like taking up extra gear, and these biners let me fit tons.

Good nuts!

Written on Sep 03, 2018

I have only used Black diamond and DMM nuts so far when trad climbing. Black diamond are ok, but these always seem to set better. Not sure if it’s the slight curve or the metal they use, but I really like them!

Great crack gloves

Written on Sep 03, 2018

I tried tape, which works but feels very wasteful and always leaves a residue for a couple days on my skin. These are great. Took them up Moby Grape on Cannon cliff the other day, they cruised through the crack without a single scratch on my skin. Felt very slim and the same as using tape.

Good sport climbing backpack

Written on Sep 03, 2018

This is a pretty nice backpack and got it for a good prIce on sale. The best part is definitely there suspension. The arm straps are sonnected so they shift with your body, keeping the weight centered even when you are leaning over to the side. Only downside are the buckles, which feel a little fragile.

Narrow fit, not stable for hiking

Written on Sep 03, 2018

The soles are sticky and they are very light, but not too breathable and not stable on uneven ground (and where else would you use approach shoes?). Also sole is kind of narrow, which makes me feel like I am going to twist an ankle constantly.
