Bio:
i love climbing, all kinds. i also enjoy jumping off things, mostly cliffs, preferably with a parachute and wingsuit.
i spend the rest of my time gardening, running, skate skiing, traveling, fixing things, cooking vegan things, writing, blogging at highinfatuation.com/blog, and attending to the whims of my dog Fletch (she's 15).

prAna Satchel Bag - Women's
September 13, 2009
When this bag is empty, it is 18" wide and 13" tall. But the side panels are 5" wide, so if you have it completely filled, it would be 13" wide and 11" tall, with a thickness of 5" all around. Good for your purse/carry-on during airline travel.

Black Diamond Stopper Set #4-13
September 13, 2009
No! But every once in a while you find small constrictions on a route, and you can definitely use small nuts here and there at the Creek (the first pitch of Lightning Bolt Cracks on North Six Shooter, and Inflictor at Broken Tooth come to mind). I prefer the Metolius stoppers myself.

try size 4. they have a great draw string waist. if you are worried about the leg length, you could even go for 6 and cinch the waist string.

prAna Becca Tank Top - Women's
July 5, 2009
Hi Alli, I am holding this tank right now, so I can describe it to you. The built-in bra is the same fabric as the straps (which is a slightly contrasted color to the main body, but the same fabric). So the bra is the same fabric as the tank, and is very light and stretchy. The bottom of the shelf has a soft, brushed surface elastic, about 1 inch wide, with a scalloped bottom edge. I find this tank to fit very snugly, so I have it in size medium, when I usually get size small in the short prAna tanks.

prAna Organic Cargo Pant - Women's
May 23, 2009
I have these pants in the capri version.
They have a rear welt pocket (that means no flaps, with finished edges around the pocket) with a button.
I love the capris, because the fit is so nice on the hips, and the pants are the same cut.

Black Diamond Sabretooth Clip Crampons with ABS
May 4, 2009
these are not ideal for hiking boots, because of the rear bail. that is meant to snap into the groove on mountaineering style boots.
you want a pair of crampons that has a strap on the back, just like the strap on the front of this pair, rather than the wire bail. those are a lot more versatile for general use, because you can even put them on with sneakers, in a pinch. it is possible to force these to work on normal hiking boots, but it is definitely not ideal. grivel makes a really nice crampon, with webbing straps for front and back, which are lighter and more packable. the stiff plastic on these makes it a little less convenient to stow them away in a compact fashion.

Five Ten Jet 7 Climbing Shoe
April 23, 2009
Hi Jenny, if you have very narrow feet, you will probably want 1/2 to 1 size smaller than your men's hiking shoe size. people with wide feet seem to need the same size as street shoe. keep in mind that 5.10 uses women's sizing for the women's specific shoes.

Mammut Smart Belay Device
April 23, 2009
this has no moving parts, and is essentially a single piece. much lighter than the grigri, but functions slightly differently. kind of like a cross between a reverso and a grigri. it's a very cool piece of gear.

prAna Convertible Pant - Women's
April 6, 2009
I like these pants a lot. The rise is low, but a little longer than the Tenaya pant and the 70's cords (which are super low). The back is clean-looking, with two pockets. The fit seems very flattering, as well as comfortable. They run a bit big, but they have a draw string, so you can have the comfort of a slightly looser fit, but won't lose them if you use the string.

Five Ten Project Climbing Shoe
April 3, 2009
Five Ten uses men's US sizing. Usually I get my shoes one half size to one full size smaller than my men's street shoe size. If you have extremely wide feet, you might want to get the same size as your normal hiking shoe size. These are really soft, so should be pretty comfortable right away and might feel a little bigger than a stiff shoe.

Mammut Smart Belay Device

i have one of those devices. I always like things that are light, and really simple. Grigris are great for lots of things too. I like the Smart a lot because it's a single piece, and super light. I find it feeds great, locks off on all sizes basically the same as a Grigri.

I've replaced all my biners with these, even sport draws! The weight is unbelievable. On a big rack of gear, you will immediately cut down half the weight. That means you carry less, weigh less, and climbing is instantly easier! Presto! Initially I thought smaller biners would be harder to clip (like on the sport draws), but now I am so used to them that I actually find it harder to clip big, heavier biners. I am totally in love with these things, and give them all thumbs up :)
