Stomping Grounds:
Midwest Trad climber -
Bio:
Im a climber, a climber that just goes out and has fun. I started climbing when I was 13, and then started leading trad at the age of 15. From then on I have been hooked. Im not into anything as much as Im into climbing, though I do snowboard, as well as ice climb, sport climb, and backpack. But my main love is trad climbing and the adventure it brings. I love the fact that I leave no trace when I trad climb. It also brings me, and will bring me, to the most beautiful places on earth.

The Mountain Hardwear windstopper vest doing work. I had a light weight patagonia pull over under this vest and it did work. I love it.

Smith Transit Goggle
March 2, 2009
No goggle is fog proof. The lenses are treated with an anti-fog coating and have vents to try and prevent fogging.I have had mine for a couple of seasons and haven't had problems with them fogging up.

Black Diamond Momentum AL Harness
March 2, 2009
It is a standard climbing harness, so it will be okay for hanging around in. Look at the BD big gun or Petzl canyon harness. These both have bigger waist belts and leg loops which will distribute your weight better, causing less specific site weight spots.For really long rappels or just sitting in for a long time.I would not get this. I would get a harness with bigger/wider waist and leg loops.

Metolius Ultralight TCU
February 28, 2009
I did notice this. I have the older style of these, and my bro ordered the ultra lights and I compared them. The only cam out of the #1, 2, and 3 to have a different length was the #1. But other than that, like Ryan said, their fine.
