Good rappel/belay device, but like many have said, nothing special. I have used mine for the past 3 years and my main complaint is that is that is isn't as smooth as other devices I have used.

I bought this pack as an "in-between" pack between my 1000 cubic inch day pack and my 5000 cubic inch backpacking pack. This is a great pack, very durable, tons of space, solid gear loops to clip gear, waterproof and a great price.

I bought these shoes to have something more comfortable in the climbing gym so that I didn't have to take my shoes off after each climb. I now use these shoes exclusively, they are the most comfortable climbing shoes I have ever owned. I have had these shoes for the past month and have climbed in them 3-4 times per week without any complaints.
