I love this biner. The key lock style makes it fast cliping and un-cliping from anchors. I use these on top anchors and my daisy cahins. they do not snag like the standard biners with the hook on them. I recomend these any day.

I really like this biner. It light weight, and plently big for my fat fingers. I use these on the rope end of my cams. they clip just perfect and have the gate hook covered so it can not snag on grear and clothing. This is by far my favorite wire gate biner I own. the only con is the price over 10 bones each, but the performance of the biner makes it worth it IMHO

For single pitch sport climbing/top roping, this is a great device. I have had mine for 8 years and its starting to get warn out. I cant complain its has performed 100% every time. It deffantly worth the $ tag. I have used it for 9.5-10.5mm ropes and it has done just fine. with a 10.5 mm rope its not the smoothest feeding device out there, but its tood to bad either.

How ever for multi pitch or where you would have to hike in a ways, you would be better off with somthing a bit less bulky. Great device but is big and heavy. If your the kind of climber that lookig to shed OZs than ther are smaller and lighter belay devices out there.

I have had this rope for a season now and its been great. This rope is very durable, it has been set up as a top rope for many climbs and the sheath has performed better than I would have expected. due to the sharp technology the rope is a bit stiff, so make sure you knots are tied well.
As far a a fall goes this rope is like landing on a rubber band, its super soft to fall on, evan from a 12 foot lead fall. Its evan fairly light weight for a 10.5mm. my 70 m sharp weighs just a bit more than my old PMI 50M 10.5m.
The only thing that could make this rope better is if it was available in a 9.6-9.8 mm version.

Iam a big fan of the key lock style biners, I keep getting any thing with a notch snaged of stuff. These are a bit small for belaying with but for anchors and clipping in to stuff these are one of the best I have foud. I use them for top rop anchors and belay station anchors and for my p.a.s. I recommended these any time.

I love these for sport climbing. they are light and handle relly nice. For some reason they fit my hand well and are super smooth to opperate. the key lock feature is nice, it dosent snag on bolt hangers and clothing like the standard notched biners to. For a solid gate biner they are light in weight as well. I rack these on every route.

Well Ill just list out the pros and cons.
Pros-
.feeds smooth with a 10.5M rope, easy on the hands
.rappels like a dream
.grabs to ropes well on a fall
.light weight
. belay a second form the top very well.

Cons
.Price, for 6 bucks less you can get the BD ATC guide (not as smooth and much heavier).

OK, so for single pitch and you are never going to leave the ground its an ok device, its does feed the rop well, but thats it.
you can rap with it for crap, you cant stuff a doubled up rope in there. You can belay a second for an anchor.
$17 worth of limiting equipment. go spend an extra $2 and get a twin tube at least. for $10 more get a atc guide.
this has got to be just about the most useless thing out there for the money. Don't get it.

-It feeds the rope well.
-It built stout, a bit heavy for the size but its solid
-it belays a second from a upper anchor very well,
-its a bit grabby while lowering someone but it grabs a fall very well.
-The little hole for releasing a un-climbable second could be better
designed.
-The notched side is a bit much for rappeling it tend to grab the rop, I turn it around to smooth out the decent,
this is one of the most versitle and usefull devices out there I really glad I got one.

Well its very light weight. It stoes next to my harness well.
I love the fact that each loop is fully rated.
The only this that sketches me is how thin the loops are, A bit more fabric would give me a more secure feeling, But Iam use to using a big ol daisy chain.

This this has saved my mellon on several occasions. I have been working this route with a 7 foot roof, I have smacks my head many times trying to pull over the lip. and falling and bashing the side of my head of the lip when I peel. This helmet is cheap and works just fine. my head is still intact because if it.
After several good solid impacts it has only a few scracthes. I recomed this helmet

Nice design, works just like the reverso3 but way beefier and the eye that the anchor beiner goes through is 90* to the reverso3. Wich is nice depending how your anchor is set up. If your going light weight than the reverse is nice. the atc guide super smooth with a 10.5 mm rope, belaying, raping, and topping a second. It a well thought out design. I recommend this any time.

They are super comfy, and super warm. I was waring then back country skiing at 25F, I have to take them off they were too warm. For down hill where you are not producing much body heat they would have been perfect. So they are great for winter activities. And they roll up to a super small package for backpacking.

I decided to try the PAS out. Its nice and clean, less bulky than the daisy. Plus I like the idea of being able to adjust the length with out sacrificing strength. So far it been a good piece of equipment. I have not loaded it by more than static body weight yet....

These thing edge like mad, smearing is over the top as well. But it streaches a lot. on a 510c to 5.11a ish the shoes feel solid like Iam glued to the rock. I got mine 1.5 sizes smaller than my street, now the toe box has goten too big. it still performes well but sloppy shoes are not as good as tighter ones do. maby the mura VS will suit me better, the velcro might allow me to snug them up more if it streaches...??? just a thought
