The Oz (pronounced "Aw-Z")is fantastic! It's super lightweight, without getting so tiny that it's difficult to use (like the new mini-biners).
A great choice to shave weight off your rack.

Brushes are pretty simple, but Revolution upped the ante with this brush pack. There are all kinds of brushes for all kinds of rock. Some brushes have bristles that are too stiff for softer rock like sandstone - Revolution has softer bristles. Some rock has grime that is too set-in for softer bristles - Revolution has harder bristles as well. Bottom line - this brush pack has everything you need.

The Dynotron and the Livewire (it's wiregate brother) are great carabiners that are good for what ales you.
It's semi-futuristic design may make it look a little chintzy, but it's not there for the bling - it's all about functionality.
The key lock makes it easy to unclip, the ribbed gate makes it easy to open, and it's strong.

Someone gave me a pair of these and I thought they were ugly at first, so I was hesitant to wear them and found myself making excuses for doing just that when people saw me wearing them. Then I realized that my feet were actually really comfortable and warm!
The Bottom Line is that I ended up liking these slipper/shoes and they're perfect for slipping your cold, bashed up toes into after a long d

The fitted sheets are a nice addition to Therm-A-rest sleep pads, making your camping experience a little closer to home.
I paired the fitted sheets to Therm-a-rest's Ventra Down comforter for comfortable sleeping down to 40 degrees.

What's more to say? It's everything the Grigri was and more (or should I say less?). It weighs less, it's smaller, and it costs the same as the original. It doesn't get much better than that!

The Bottom line is that the Livewire and the Dynotron(non-wiregate version) are great carabiners because they are light, easy to open and their bright colors make them easy to see.

I really love these quickdraws. I'm currently using Metolius FS Mini quickdraws for the majority of my rack but I use these for my crux/anchor draws. Not only are they lightweight and they have the keylock functionality - they just inspire a bit more confidence than some other quickdraws. This is probably because the construction feels so solid and the nylon runner/dogbone is so easy to grab.

I first climbed in the Quartz CR3 harness a week ago and here is what I noticed.
1) The adjustable leg loops and belt were very easy to adjust. I find that the webbing on other harnesses (particularly the Petzl Adjama) can be too stiff to flow freely through the buckles, making adjustments difficult.
2) This harness is easier to put on than any other harness I've worn (10 years of climbing). No m

Just like the transformers, there's more to this bag than meets the eye.
Have you ever been hanging out at the crag wishing you had a better place to sit? Well the Rambla 40 has it! The pack's back panel folds out to make a seat big enough for two (a cozy two). Or you could use it as a nice place to stand while putting your shoes on - no more pine needles stuck in your feet! What other pack has t
