I just got my first pair a few weeks ago. They are sweet, finaly a shoe where my fingers are the limiting factor. The edgeing is wonderful, the Smearing capability is just under its edgeing performance. when it comed time for a new my next pair of shoes These are going to be 1st on my list of try ons.

Frick'n awesome. The light wieght, strong and smooth. I love the key lock style, theres no snagging on bolts or ropes. They'er a bit pricy compared to other draws but it worth it. I wish I had discovered em sooner.

grigri from petzl 4 out of 5 stars

From all the bad press this device gets, its really not all bad. for me it has performed flawlessly. But care must be taken when lowering and rappelling, the lever that opens up the camming device is a bit on the toutchy side. After several times of "playing " with this it deffanly is possible for get the grigri to lower you partner quite smoothly. other than being big and blukly its good for close one day single pitch stuff.

BD spot 4 out of 5 stars

Nice little lamp. Works well for any basic outting. Bike riding almost is too fast for the light beam however. Its a solid lamp that weighs little and is cheap $$$. The hinging mecinism is a tad flimsey but overall it stays in place. It has a H M L and blinking on both the main spot and the flood light modes, wich is nice for picking the exact amount of light you need. The battery life is great, I think that I go through a set of batts once a summer season. Overall that adds to a least a hundred hours of burn time. Its reasonabley water resistant too, I droped mine over board while boating, and it kept on ticking. For the pice its one of the best that I have found. The pros deffantly out weigh the cons. I recomend this lamp for any camping trip and where light is needed under 50 feet or so.
