Bio:
Everyday I wake up eager to climb. If I can't climb that day I want to go back to sleep. Have been climbing for about 6 months. Went to the Purisho Bouldering competition in the Phillipines, and had completed a v3 boulder, and a 5.9b redpoint. Hope to continue and I am willing to answer any questions about climbing you got

because in the picture the women's looks stiffer and a little more downturned
and for all around climbing would the katanas or the miura vs be better?

Petzl Sama Harness - Men's
May 7, 2009
yes, I know some people that wish they got this harness before any other one. Just make sure to get the leg loop sizing right many people get it wrong. If your legs aren't proportional then it is better to get another harness with adjustable loops

Petzl Grigri Belay Device
March 28, 2009
I dont know about that but where i live you dont go outdoor climbing without a gri gri. People tend to get distracted and sorts but if someone suddenly falls and your not paying attention its gonna catch. I asked to belay with atc once and everyone just stared at me. I recommend gri gri its very safe.

I highly doubt this will break on you. At my local climbing gym we use the gri gri on everywall. Sometimes we get overweight people falling and going up and down all the time. Just trust the gri gri. It is meant for that stuff.

Mad Rock Mugen Climbing Shoe - Men's
March 16, 2009
I have the mugens their pretty greatthey should be pretty similar, great heel. but the rubber isnt that great. similar to the flash with age it loses dexterity. so if you want this shoe get it 1-2 sizes down from your normal shoe and use it mainly for training. Sometimes the heel comes in handy outdoors but very good for indoor bouldering
