the hiker pro has not broken on me yet and i have used it on 10 backpacking trips. even if it did it is easily maintainable in the field. it pumps well and not too slow. pick one up if your going out to the back country.

great headlamp. lights the trail or boulder or whatever your doing very well. used it on a four day hike when the water never stopped coming down. this baby is still working as if it was new. easy to adjust beam intensity and whatnot. great buy.

The Altios is very light and holds up really well to a brutal beating. for those of us who do fall. took a little to adjust the straps just right but once there you will not even know you are wearing a helmet.

Simple bag that makes a rope manageable and easy to carry. have had one for a while and lasted longer than my first rope.

these draws are super lightweight and the keylock construction makes cleaning easy. great buy and great price, i definitely recommend picking up a set of these.

good biner.AWSOME screw gate, very smooth. works for a belay biner but is not very big, better for anchors and maybe a master point(although probably too expensive to want to use as master point).

The ATC is the classic belay device and the design will never go out of date. i always carry an ATC with me(backup). Great for the price.

these pants are great. they are really light for your pack and they do a great job at keeping you dry. they breathe well so you don't soak yourself with sweat. ive been in bomber weather and these always keep me dry.

Great mid layer. this jacket is warm and breathes well. exactly what you want on the trail or on the rock. wind will get through if you wear it alone but if you do not have a good shell this would not be ideal.

great helmet, does the job. has good ventilation and fits great so when you look for the next hold it doesn't slide all over the place.

one rule of hiking is always protect your feet. these boots breathe well and do not let any water in. they have good ankle support and after a day of hiking you feet still feel good. I have not done any summer hiking in these boots but they might be a little warm.

this jacket is really good. it is not too thick so you get overheated when climbing or hiking but will block the cold wind from getting to you. the pockets are raised so that when you have a harness on you can access the pockets. the fit is good too. the underarms are not too tight so when you reach for the next hand placement the jacket doesn't ride up. all in all sweet jacket.

Good biner. probably not the one you would want to use for a belay or rappel. Great for setting up anchors and great price seeing as you need a good bit of lockers for setting up some anchors.

great price and does what is needed. not too heavy either.

I have used this in all seasons except deep snowy winter. may not want to use it when sandy and windy. tent has one pole which makes setting up in the dark and rain really easy. it is free standing so no need to anchor it which also makes setup awesome. i highly recommend this tent to everyone, you will fall in love with it too.

i love the am'd carabiners. i recently bought this auto locking am'd for my reverso 3 and found that it is a not worth the extra five dollars. it get locked up about halfway open on me very often, making the ease of the one hand operation not so easy. otherwise i love that it locks automatically, makes it easy to perform the once over before climbing.

this stove is great. it is light and it has never quit on me on the trail. it is not completly windproof but comes with a shield.

awesome shoe. work wonders in cracks. has great edging and good smearing capabilities. lace ups create a shoe that forms to the foot. did not take long to break in. they are great in the gym and AWESOME on real rock.

the momentum is a great and very cost effective harness. it is a little slower to put on than the speed but that should not be the deciding factor of buying a harness. it is a good harness and does the job.

good for any size rope. creates enough friction but not too much. easy to feed to a leader and catches great for a fall. i also have not used the autolock.

its a good bag. the lip is sort of stiff so the mouth of the bag is always open. the belt is simple but makes it easy to use if not harnessed up. perfect size for sport or some bouldering.
