These are a valuable addition to any rack. These little guys are ideal for aid climbing but they are even more useful in a sketchy situation when you don't have time to fumble…

Placed correctly, these are bomber and can be placed where nothing else works -- but don't expect to be able to get them back out easily if you fall on them!…

This review is for the .25 black Tricam. This little guy is a beauty. Though tricams in general take some time getting used to, they are so versatile it's insane. This litt…

Tricams are the most versatile and unique pro placements in my trad rack. Though they take a little bit of time to place, but they are bomber and less than half the price of…

Recently used for a few days during an attempt on Chulu West (6419m) in the Annapurna region of Nepal. I think the best thing about these is how easy they are to fit! Lift t…

for general mountaineering, this is a great axe. the steel in the pick and the spike will make sure it doesn't get dulled up, and its stainless steel, so no rusting and staini…

If you're looking for a tool so light, you really don't know it's there, yet does exactly what a mountaineering axe should do, get this. I picked up this axe last season to r…

Nice, super-light biners. Great for racking and clipping gear. Small size isn't an issue when clipping my 10.2 mm rope. I would definitely recommend these for trad. The fi…

I LOVE my nanos!! I use them on a lot of gear/protection. I have small hands though which is ideal for use; however, many of my seconds do not. I have to be mindful if I ta…

These are all I use on sport routes where a little snag can mean a big whipper. Both ends are keylock so they cant get stuck on anything. They make a nice, satisfying click w…

Paid about $10 a piece for these and couldn't be happier with them for the price. The carabiners clip rope very easily and the dogbone is solid. No rubber keeper on the rope s…

These draws are very light compared to other black diamond draws i have used in the past. The wire gates make for very easy clipping. The bent wire on the bottom is excellent…

These crampons are really light and fully capable of performing on moderate glacier routes that don't involve much rock or front pointing. The steel tips are probably good fo…

I've had this helmet for over a year now and still think it's great. It's comfortable, light and can be used when I'm mountain biking. I bought it for the dual purpose as well…

So far I have been very pleased with this harness. It's comfortable enough to double as a chair...I don't even notice that I'm wearing it when I'm hanging off the wall trying…

I could jump all day in this harness. No worries when tied off and hanging. Leg comfort and hip comfort (big deal for those of us with boney hips) are premium. When using it o…

This harness is perfect for gym and sport climbing. It definitely will not hold up to much abuse, though. I got this on sale to replace my old Petzl Adjama harness, and I thin…

This is a nice mountaineering axe with a terrible leash. The leash just doesn't work very well, it always twists up and it doesn't fold over the top of the axe in a nice way.…
