Dirty Rope?

Dirty Rope?

Mammut Tusk Climbing Rope - 9.8mm

2 days ago

After a few months of heavy use this rope turned almost black. I decided it was time for my rope to get a bath. It helped a lot. As you can see, a lot of dirt came out. Not only does it look nicer, but it handles better and moves through gear a little easier. Now my rope is like new.

Petzl Adjama Harness - Men's

Petzl Adjama Harness - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 2 days ago

I've been using this as my primary do-it-all harness for about a year now. It's pretty light and the adjustable leg loops and large waist let me layer up underneath it. It's supportive and breathes really well. The pre-threaded DoubleBack buckles make putting on and taking off the harness really easy. The main qualm i have with this harness is that the plastic thread that they use as the stitching on the coping of the harness has started to really irritate my skin when not wearing a shirt. Also, as many other reviewers have said, the sizing is a little off (it runs a bit large). Overall a great do-it-all harness.

La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's DO NOT USE

La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 5 July 14, 2009

I use this shoe for everything. It's technical enough to send 5.12s and comfortable enough to use on long multipitch cracks. The lacing ensures a nice, tight, form fitting shoe. I bought them a size smaller but now wish i had gone a size and a half or even two. (They strech like none other.) If bouldering is your thing than get a slipper with a quicker closure and some downtune. But if you don't know what you're into or you're into a bit of everything... get the Mythos!

Great rope that's not afraid to get dirty

Mammut Tusk Climbing Rope - 9.8mm

Mammut Tusk Climbing Rope - 9.8mm

Rating for this product: 4 July 14, 2009

The lightweight, fairly durable rope is great for sport and trad climbing. Its downfall is that it's sheath is a little weak and picks up dirt like a magnet. I've only had the rope for a few months, love it, but it's now an off yellow and has many little sheath frays that proves how much dirt it picks up and the weakness of the sheath. (i use a rope tarp every time) I really like the rope and sugest it for a good first rope.

Rating for this product: 5 July 14, 2009

This Hex set is great! The curved body of these Hex's place well and hold fast. The extra sling makes the placements easier to clip and extend. i just wish they put slings on the other sizes. i'd recomend these for a rack starter if you can't afford a cam package.

Light, strong, and very useful. I use this for everything. I really enjoy the reverso function when belaying a second. If all you're doing is gym or sport climbing go with an ATC or a Verso.

Bling is Heavy

Petzl Spirit Express Quickdraw

Petzl Spirit Express Quickdraw

Rating for this product: 4 July 14, 2009

These are great quickdraws for sport climbing. They are very sexy quickdraws. But ,like i said, "bling" is heavy. They are very easy to clip to bolts and rope. I liked them so much i bought 4 of the longest ones and am not dissapointed.

Great, but better is out there

Black Diamond Dynex Daisy Chain - 12mm

Black Diamond Dynex Daisy Chain - 12mm

Rating for this product: 4 July 14, 2009

I really like this Daisy Chain, but for use as a personal anchor I prefer the Metolius PAS (Personal Anchor System). The main drawback with the Daisy Chain is that it is very easy to clip it in a manner that could lead to a very painful fall. That, and that each loop is only rated to a strength of body weight, that means that if it is shock loaded, it will break, breaking each loop untill it meets the main loop where it could break, but would definately cause damage to yourself.

Bottom Line: Look on BD's website for proper clipping and if your planning on using this as a personal anchor, go with the Metolius PAS (much safer).

Not only are these light and strong, they're also smooth as silk. I've made a few extendable draws with these and I couldn't be happier. Grab a few if you can.

Great Rack Starter

Black Diamond Quicksilver Quickpack Quickdraws

Black Diamond Quicksilver Quickpack Quickdraws

Rating for this product: 4 June 22, 2009

These are great quickdraws on their own... put six in a pack and you've got a great rack starter. I use them on sport routes and to clip to gear. They're fairly light and practical for the price range. Bent gate on bottom makes for very easy clipping.
Only drawbacks:
1)Kind of heavy compared to some quickdraws
2)carabiners can get hung up on harness or gear (remedy by replacing top carabiner with a keylock carabiner)
