Phantom Tech

Scarpa
Scarpa Phantom Tech Mountaineering Boot
5.04

A phenominal boot

Pros
Very light
Great gaiter
Fairly warm
Great crampon compatibity
Cons
Not stiff enough for some
No lace-locks / BOA
Some units have sloppy heal pockets
If your crampons are very tight the heel lever can press on your heel
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

Pros and cons say everything

The main reson not to buy these is the sloppy heel and laces, if those are a non issue you should be very satisfied with these boots!

Great product replaced with garbage

Pros
Fairly easy to place
Larger sizes have a great action
Sizes line up great with your C4’s
Cons
Horrendously bad durability
Not user serviceable
Objectively ugly slings, especially on offset models
Relatively expensive
Small sizes take a unbelievable amount of force to actuate
Plastic covering stems and trigger wires breaks easily
Lobes go smooth after little use
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

I think my pros and cons list sums it up pretty well overall I feel like these were bad development for BD they discontinued the C3 arguably the best selling micro cam ever instead they released this garbage

A steel cable

Pros
Unicore
Tough
Robust
Good Dry treatment
Cons
Heavy
Extremely stiff
Very bad handling characteristics

This is an industrctible Rope well suited to big walls, It sucks to use, it is hevy, it is very long lasting. Dont expect a Rolls Royce but rather an F-350 Superduty. To be honest it is exspensive for what you are getting, I got my rope for $110 after tax, at that pice it is a bargin but any more and it is losing any value proposition
