very nice pack, but suffers from a bad case of excess straps. I lightened the load on mine in about an hour by shortening most of the straps to the tune of 1/2 pound of excess straps, zipper pulls, etc.
Very adjustable suspension, adds weight, but it helps carry the weight more comfortably. Can't decide if the compression strap that goes over the top is useless or not. I'll give it a few more trips then decide if it gets the scissors or not.

The best biner for the bolt end of your draws. Period.
The keylock nose won't snag, the "grippies" on the gate are awesome, my sweaty fingers haven't slipped off the gate trying to clip with these biners. And the nose is so skinny, you can get them into the links of the chain anchors so prevalent in mid-missouri.
My only niggle so far is that these biners seem to have sustained a bit more marring from bolt hangers than other biners when I've fallen on them. Seems to just be a cosmetic issue at this point though.

For a solid gate biner, this is a really lightweight biner. Another plus is that entire body of the biner (all but the gate) is really skinny, letting you put a lot of them in one skinny gear loop. So if you like bent gate biners, this one's for you. Personally, I'm fond of the wire gates, and I think these would be perfect biners if they were wiregates, but alas...

Oh, and the only place I've seen them so far was in Germany, not exactly great availability here in the states.

I know a guy who SWEARS by cobras, he has gone to extreme lengths to track down another pair of unused cobras at an obscure gear shop 4 states away, such is his devotion to his shoes.
Untill I bought my venoms I never understood such behavior.
(*&%ing AMAZING grip. I thought C4 was sticky, but this stuff blows it out of the water. No, it blows it right out of the wetlands and into a little smoldering pile of black goo by the side of the road somewhere.
The fit: these shoes are the first I've ever had that sucked my foot in and formed to every little nuance of my toes and heel. Sure all that sucking and forming made for a painful few weeks, but it was worth every second.
edging/smearing: the best of any shoe I've ever had. bar none.
hooking/scumming: hooks better than any slipper or velcro shoe I,ve ever tried. Not as secure as a lace up, but it's never going to be because it's a slipper (note the word "slip" cleverly hidden in it's very name) scumming is the best I've ever experienced thanks to the web rubber.
the break-in period is painful, though very worthwhile.

Fit:
I wear 9.5 in most climbing shoes (mad rock, evolv, mythos)
I wear 40.5 in venoms. They stretch a lot.

Almost all the power and battery life of the Myo XP, but in a more compact package that comes $20 cheaper.
I've had this headlamp for a month now and I absoloutely love it. The focused beam is bright enough that I've retired my Maglight from Camping use, and it's diffused beam is excellent for stumbling around camp at night. I've been using this light a lot, and the battery life indicator is still showing green, I couldn't be happier with it.
