very cool looking beanie, i got the cactus green. however, it is a lonnnnngggg beanie. way too long for my head...pulled down all the way, it sat wayyy below my eyes. bummer. anyway, it will make for a nice christmas gift for a friend with a slightly larger head than mine.

God i love these biners. i wouldn't rack my cams on anything else. they are incredibly lightweight and have a low profile that sits nicely in a loaded-down gear loop. my climbing buddy uses neutrinos and i have to say...after using and comparing both i wouldn't dare go for the neutrinos. the action on the XL's gate is exceptionally smoother, they are lighter, and they are cheaper to boot!

I wear this thing ALL the time. Super warm, super comfy, and just the right fit. the wool is great, not too itchy and really warm. the fleece ear band adds to the comfort and keeps the sweat out of your eyes if you really get moving. The beanie is suprisingly durable too. on a route i was recently on there was a chimney section that came to a small roof you had to pull to get to the belay. needless to say the beanie handled a fair amount of sandstone scraping without showing any wear. i love this thing so much i bought my brother one for christmas! he's not a climber, but this thing is super stylish for casual wear too.

Great biner if you are looking for a Big ole locker. it is a tad on the heavy side, but very burly and durable. i had one clipped to the back of my harness during a 130 ft squeeze chimney. aside from some scratches, it looked good as new!

love these draws and biners. the gate has a really great action too it and these are super light in the hand. the size is on the small side, but still easily clipped. the biners themselves are great for racking cams too. all in all I highly recommend WC biners. for the price and quality these xenon lite draws can't be beat so long as you don't mind the reduced size. if you are looking for a full size biner, go with the nitro. if you are looking for a creme de la creme draw, go with the heliums.

The trigger action is oh so smooth
The cam range is oh so wide
The colored lobes are oh so sexy
The protection is oh so reassuring when you are pumped out 10 ft above your last piece
Hail to thee, black diamond camalot!

Pair these with a lightweight biner (i love the WC xenon lites for racking my cams) and you are ready to get addicted to CRACK...climbing.

i love my pocket rocket! probably not the best for gourmet cooking, but when it comes to quickly boiling water and packing down to an incredibly small/lightweight size, there's nothing better. Crank it up full blast and it really does sound like a rocket--i've not used any other canister stoves so i can't really compare the volume, but it doesn't really bother me.

this duffel is the way to go--super durable construction, nearly waterproof, lightweight, utterly cavernous. if you are looking for a bottomless hole of a duffel to swallow all the gear and clothing you can throw in it, look no further. i ordered the Large and it works perfectly for me.Oh and i ordered the oxidant orange--the color looks much cooler in real life than it does in the pic above.

quality, lightweight footprint that greatly extends the life of the tent, there really isn't a reason NOT to buy one, so do yourself a favor and get one when you order your pine island. After you click submit, smile knowing you've just ordered the baddest tent/footprint around.

super smooth to feed rope through and locks down a fall like no one's business. this little piece of gear is extremely versatile and pretty lightweight. an excellent device to have on just about any climbing rack. belay w/one or two ropes, rappel with one or two ropes, regular or high friction mode, there are plenty of options to suite almost any situation.

Angus B. summed it up perfectly! this tent is awesome. it's a spacious four man and a downright luxurious two man! check my picture below. for the sake of brevity, i'm just going to sum my review up with a big ole' DITTO. get this tent, it will be one of the best gear purchases you've ever made.

i paired two of these runners with two BD vaporlocks and absolutely love them for cleaning routes and setting up personal protection at the chains. it's always good to have a few extra runners around anyway, so do yourself a favor and pick up a few.

these are great for the price. they don't stay together all that well (hence the four stars) but are lightweight, easy to clean, and perform their job of transporting the food in my bowl to my mouth very well.

great little locking biners. super light weight, smooth action, and not big and bulky like most belay/rappel lockers. i use these guys with a set of dynex runners as indirects when cleaning and climbing multi-pitch routes. the keylock really comes in handy when you trying to unclip from the chains.

Super thick, super comfy, and packs down nicely. 'nuff said.

this pack is awesome! I've mainly been using it for climbing and i love it. lots of gear loops to clip stuff to and super light. I can fit my shoes, small rack, chalk, chalk bag, extra layer, food, two nalgenes, first aid kit, and tarp in the bag with tons of room to spare. The cinch strap under the hood is perfect for carrying a 60m rope. It's been great for hiking too. If you pack light this is definitely large enough for an over-nighter as well.

Great weekend pack. holds everything i need for three days of climbing and camping. So far this pack has withstood two very wet weekends at the red without a problem (with a rain cover--an absolute lifesaver). The compression straps and floating lid are great for securing odd sized gear. Durable, lightweight, and functional.

i've only been climbing for about four months, so this is the first set of quickdraws i've purchased. However, i have used a couple other brands so i have a little bit to compare them to. I really like them! The 'biners and dynex dogbones are both pretty lightweight. The wiregates is are awesome--clipping is almost effortless. they look pretty cool too. i definitely recommend these draws.

nothing spectacular, but they do their job well. they can fold to an incredibly small size when not in use. i'm only giving them four stars because the stuff sacks (XS and L) had a cinch chord top rather than the roll top i had wanted.

Great bag--lightweight, compresses extremely well, comfortable, and definitely warm. My first outing with my ultralamina 15 was a few weeks ago at the Red River Gorge in KY. When we arrived at 3 am it was flurring hard with about two inches of snow on the ground. Once we set up the tent and i got in the bag, it easily kept me warm in ~20 F conditions--i didn't even zip up the second two nights (it warmed up a little bit later in the weekend to ~35 F at night). This sleeping bag gets the job done.

Also, it comes with both a large mesh stuff sack AND a compression sack. Very cool of MH to include both.

The R320 is super comfortable and lightweight. It is hardly noticeable when worn and distributes the rope forces very nicely without all a bunch of padding just as it says in the description. The gear loops are solid and hold more than enough draws. It is seems quite durable as well, holding up to wet conditions and general wear nicely. It performed wonderfully on my first super soggy, muddy, and wet trip to the Red and looks like it will be protecting me for many more trips to come.
