Standard start set- decent performance/cost balance

By Eric Darsow Ranked #59 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets January 12, 2011

Like many others, this package was a starter for me into sport climbing in Provo, Utah. I was attracted to the brand and since BD does not make shoddy gear, I was not put off by the price (I suggest one should not shop only by price with climbing gear). The harness doesn't have an automatic double backing feature so beginners should, of course, know exactly what they're doing before they think they can just slip on the harness and rappel of the roof of the office to try the thing out. I've used the harness canyoneering (since I will buy a higher grade model once I move back out West) and it doesn't hold up well, but then again, no gear holds up well in the Roost.
Pros:
-Good set of standard gear for starters
-Decent acceptable fit and versatility

Cons:
-No auto double-backing
