Delighted with the crux

Scarpa Crux Shoe - Men's

Scarpa Crux Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 17, 2012

I picked these up a month ago for a series of rock climbing trips and I have been totally wowed by how well they support for hiking and grip for scrambling. Like another reviewer said, the to the toe lacing lets you loosen up some for the hike in then dial it down when you get to the rock. The extra insole that gradualy gets bigger towards the back of the shoe is the secret sauce that supports your feet for the approach in.

Very Happy with it

Black Diamond Epic 45 Backpack - 2624-2868cu in

Black Diamond Epic 45 Backpack - 2624-2868cu in

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2012

I'm 6'4 with a long torso, so I love the extra long length available in this pack. I was also pleasantly surprised with the weight of the pack; very nice given its size. There is a strap hidden in the top of the pack for carrying a rope, a nice touch that doesn't get mentioned. Also appreciate the single buckle to close. One less thing to do. Hip belt was well padded especially given the low weight, that was also an excellent surprise. I used to be all about the pockets but I have progressed to valuing lower weight over more pockets, so the single big hole on this pack works perfectly for me.

Its a little annoying that the top isn't floating (the back is fixed to the top of the main pack) but I don't think I will massively overload this pack so I am not too worried about it. Also the shoulder straps are a bit narrow around the neck area, but they seem to have known and accounted for that with different material there.

Overall I am extremely pleased with this pack and I will probably make it my go to winter backcountry pack for ice climbing/mountaineering. I'll also going to sell my Osprey Variant 37 and pick up the Epic 35 if I can find it for shorter days.

Suunto t3d Heart Rate Monitor with Dual Comfort Belt

May 9, 2011

It got scratched very easily on me. As comparison I wear a Suunto Core everyday for the past 6 months or so to work and its face is fine. I think the t3d got scratched in a bin full of hiking clothing; no idea how. If you buy this I'd buy a Zagg cover for it immediately.

Pros and Cons

Mountain Hardwear Piero Pant - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Piero Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 14, 2011

Pro: tough pants for rock climbing outside. I have Patagonia's rock guide pants and have torn them twice now during a fall (maybe I should just stop falling). The Piero's are much tougher for a pretty small sacrifice in weight and a moderate sacrifice in stretch. Since I'm not made of money; I'll take these on the serious trips and save the Patagonia's for hiking.

Good for size/weight

MSR E-Bivy

MSR E-Bivy

Rating for this product: 5 March 15, 2011

I replaced an OR Alpine Bivy with this due to its size and weight and I am quite happy with it. Obviously it isn't as impervious as the full on gore-tex bivy but my feeling is the trade off in weight (over a pound) is worth it if you are near or below the tree line. Even above it the adage light is right comes into play.
