While this does hold chalk it is quite small, and the draw string on mine broke in a little less than a month. I wish I would have just spent another $4-$5 on a nicer bag.

Great first shoe

Mad Rock Flash Climbing Shoe - Men's

Mad Rock Flash Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 July 19, 2009

I just started climbing a couple of months ago and these are my first shoes. Ordering them online I was unable to size them but I ordered a size 11, and wear a street shoe size 11. They were snug at first but have stretched out a little bit. I would say go with a 1/2 size smaller than you typically wear.

They are the only shoe I have owned but they seem great so far. They are easy to smear in and great for edging. I haven't really run into anything that I feel could be solved with a different/better shoe.

They are easy to get in and out of, but it seems like the Velcro will wear out rather quickly.

One annoying thing is that the orange color of the shoes comes off on your feet after you get sweaty and climb for a while. Not a huge deal...

Overall I am very satisfied. I can't really testify as to how well they hold up, but I will update as soon as I know!

Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's

Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 30, 2009

This is my first harness so I can't comment as to how it compares to others. It is very comfortable and was affordable at $55 and is great for indoor climbing. I am a pretty big guy at 6'5" 200 and the large fits well. The leg loops are perfectly sized.
