This is the best chalk i've used. In an hour of bouldering, i only need to rechalk my hands about ever 15 minutes. Granted this is indoors, and maybe my hands aren't that sweaty, but the chalk does its job.

This is the first pack i have owned and i love it. The padding on hip belt and the back is unbelievable. It's really meshy, and it's designed to keep your back up to %15 cooler. It's got a bunch of good features, like a little pocket for a knife, or change that's on the hip belt, and it also has a ice axe loops, which could also be used for other things. The pack comes with it's own raincover, so that's a added plus. I have no complaints about it.

This is an awesome headlamp. The big halogen bulb is great if you need lots of light in a concentrated area, or if you need to pinpoint something that is far away. With just the turn of the lamp, you can get the LED's which off pretty good coverage of low light. The only thing that keeps it from being a 5 is that you are carrying a big battery pack on your head, but it isn't that bad. And you can relocated to your belt if you want.

I've only had these shoes for 3 days, but i really like them. I sized them down 1/2 a size, so they're tight, but they're very comfortable. So far, i like the dual density rubber. When i first used them, i put the soft rubber on the hold and when it gripped, it felt like i was standing on a huge wad of gum, it was that sticky. The ribbed heel cup is great for heel hooks and it also has a textured toe area, for toe hooks. I own a pair of Anasazi Southewest's and they will be my rock shoes while the Hookers will be my bouldering shoes.

These are my first shoes and i've had them for about 7 months now and they're still holding up great. The edging on them is amazing and the molded heel for hooking is really nice. The only thing i would change is how stiff they are, there is almost no flexibility at all. Other than that I think they are a great shoe.
