If you’re looking for a great all around crampon to tackle the ice, snow and rock then look no further than the Petzl Dartwin. The Dartwin is ideal for vertical and steep waterfall ice climbing. You’ll find that it’s an excellent choice for kicking around the Ouray Ice Park as well as backcountry ice climbing destinations from the Rockies to Iceland.go to full review

 I'm super psyched about this pad-- it's a great size both folded and opened up, the materials are super burly, and it has reliable options for carrying your goods. It's also not too heavy and the support system is comfy enough to imagine trekking it in a long ways. Well done Metolius.go to full review

One of the things I love about Maxim Ropes (including the Airliner) is that they have low static and dynamic elongation without sacrificing too much impact force. Ever get tired of pulling up your rope to get back on route, then letting go and sinking down ten more feet? Or how about top-roping a route and falling at the second or third bolt only to drop to the ground-- even with a tight belay. The Airliner is not nearly this stretchy (no bungie cord), and yet still gives a soft catch.go to full review

As the middle passes through your hands you can actually feel the change as well, so even if you're not paying attention to the cord you will likely have a sense for when your partner is all of the way out there. The new colors are rad too... pretty simple really... just a kick ass rope made better! This will be my go-to for the next several seasons until they find a way to improve it again! go to full review

Simple, lightweight, rugged. The session pad got a face lift recently but kept its staggeringly low price tag. I really like this little pad. Perfect for your solo circuit after work or for that long alpine approach - as an entry level pad this one is without a doubt the best I've seen. go to full review

I got the shoes at the end of last year. Immediately I liked the colour.  I’m a ginger, it spoke to me.  I was skeptical that they would be any good but it was going into competition season and I figured I would start in the gym and see how they go.  They went fantastic.  Sensation in the toe box was excellent.  I could feel all the little bumps of the foot chips I stood on and when I smeared on nothing the rubber bit down and the shoe didn’t twist on my foot.  I was very impressed so I took..." go to full review

In short, La Sportiva’s “No Edge Technology” is amazing! It has sped up my footwork and given me more confidence on tiny footholds. The Futuras are the best fit for me, and have become my favourite shoes for crimpy climbs. The Geniuses offer all the benefits of the “No Edge Technology” but with more comfort (and they look like friggin’ Ferraris!). I still use the Solutions on overhanging climbs when I need that little bit of extra power on my toes, or when I need to hook my toe on a hold in..." go to full review

The big advantage of the Eddy is revealed when you start to use it. Somehow, the device seems to recognise the difference between a fall and an energetic payout of rope - it locks cleanly during the former whilst allowing the rope to pull through unhindered for the latter. The device locks when you apply force through the brake-hand on the dead end, when you are feeding rope through, the lack of braking force allows the device to remain open. A proper sharp tug will lock the device even if..." go to full review
