Own 2 Zephyrs - one blue, one orange - and they hold up pretty well. Taken the same one on multipitch trad climbs, sport routes and even ice climbing. I lost count about how many falls I've taken on this rope. Recently took a 45 ft whipper and it was a soft fall surprisingly. Now I only use it as a gym rope. It's taken so much abuse through rain and snow and still held up fine for a year of hard climbing. The major things I don't like about it are (1) I prefer smaller ropes (under 9.9mm) now and (2) It gets heavy when I'm walking a couple miles up to a crag. Overall Petzl makes good ropes (I also own the Nomad) but I think for the money you are better off buying a Maxim. Like I've said, I've put this thing through WAY more abuse than it probably was designed to take.

I bought this tent in 1999 and it still holds up strong with no leaking or peeling of any kind. I just bought another one yesterday - saw the new one on sale and couldn't pass it up!! Yes, it can get hot in the summer but I have used it throughout all 4 seasons. Whether setting up in puddles or snow, it has held up exceptionally well. The only thing that I have never liked about it is that it weighs a lot for a tent. If I had the extra money, I would go for the new Mountain Hardware tents (super light).

Metolius has come out with yet another great product and - as far as crash pads go - it's probably one of the best if not the best in quality for it's price range. I've taken many 10 foot falls and even a 15 foot fall and I barely felt it - just make sure you land right! I must for anyone serious into bouldering or climbers who would like that added protection before clipping into that first bolt.
