The hole on my ribs is from a hungry mouse in my tent, not wear and tear. Holding up really well.

Durability?
Has anyone had any trouble with the camera breaking after taking a hard fall? I'm especially worried about mountain biking and kayaking (hitting a rock while upside down), and wondered how tough this thing is?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the neutrino and the hotwire biners? They look pretty much the same to me.

Black Diamond Sabretooth Clip Crampons

14 points for all-purpose? I was thinking that all purpose typically had 10, and 14 was for really technical stuff like vertical ice. Has anyone used these for general mountaneering, and were you happy with the performance? I'm looking for an all-purpose that I can climb easy ice routes, but will use mostly for slope climbing. Thanks for any beta!

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Sleeping Pad
June 15, 2009
Does the noise bother anyone? I slept on this pad at REI and it seemed awfully noisy anytime I shifted my weight around. I'm thinking the sleeping bag might dampen the noise, but was wondering if this is an issue with anyone? Thanks for any input!
