These cams are great, and well worth the money. The single stem design is a welcome change to the usual "U" shaped Metolius cams. These cams sit proudly next to my C4's, and…

As noted in many other reviews, Aliens are getting harder and harder to come by. Because of the flexible stem and the narrow profile these guys are great in those horizontal…

These are the best. I use them at my climbing gym and needed a pair to travel with. I recommend that you bring a long runner for each one and a D-Ring to hang them in a bra…

I bought these to complement the decor in my condo, but as luck would have it, they are a ball to use. I enjoy pull-ups on them much more than my hangboard, and find them hand…

I love how smooth the gate feels when clipping. It makes a huge difference when you're stressing right at the crux move. I've got several other draws and carabiners, and these…

This is the first rope that I've own. I decided to go with 10.2 for the feeling of extra security, and this rope doesn't disappoint. Excellent for any top rope and great for w…

This rope is great! It will take a lot of falls and abuse. I took my first big fall on it the other day and it did its job… Im alive, if you buy this rope you should be too!…

It's super easy to get your rope inside this bag, it all rolls up and cinches up nicely into a compact little package. Great basic bag for the price, and I love the fish print…
- Rochele E, 05/08/12

I love that it lets to see which rope is in which bag with its tiny window. The tarp is the perfect size, not too big like on other bags which take up space.…

Super solid cam, great in the mid to larger sizes, the size 7 is perfect for hand/fist size cracks. After rotating out many different cams over the years these and the BD C4s…

Pretty good but still prefer c4s. but if you need to shave some weight this is a great option…

These are definitely a specialty piece. They fit in pin scars where nothing else will go except for a cam hook or sawed angle. If that's what you need, then they are the ticke…

Master Cams rock! (I know, that was lame...) I've been adding a set of Offsets to my rack for pin scars and non-parallel cracks (my gear currently consists of C4s .5-3 (2 eac…

I've gotten a lot of compliments on the rope color(s) actually. I have heard tell that some of these ropes had issues with durability starting at the midpoint where there are…

Rope is confidence inspiring and burly, but not too heavy, and handles well. Great for everything, working sport routes, trad climbing, maybe not the alpine since i have no d…

Wide cracks or sections in cracks are so deceiving for me. It seems they always flare so I find another sot with for smaller cam placement. That is why I like this cam. I take…

Just getting into climbing. This fine piece of gear is ruggedly made and the action ultra smooth. The only downside I can foresee is that dirt/gunk could eventually work its…

This rope is perfect for the gym - i guess that's why they call it a Gym Rope. At 30M I have plenty of length for any indoor route, and i'm spending a lot less time flaking…

I love it. I put up a wall in a barn and this rope is just what I needed. It's perfect length and I dig the color. Big Ups.…

Great harness, very comfortable. Doesn't cut into my hips like other ones I've worn. Another great product by Metolius, I recommend it to everyone!…

Out of the 4 harnesses I have tried this is my favorite by far. It is comfortable for walking around and while hanging in it. The entire thing is load rated even the gear loop…

These things work pretty well. They are way light, easy to place, easy to get out when you let your friend lead and s/he overcams them, etc. Their expansion range is sub-par c…

A very straight forward design, with a minimum of extras and good construction quality. I rarely find the U stem an issue, and prefer it for ergonomics in the larger sizes. Th…

Although a bit heavier than most 9.8 ropes, it's a great rope and a favorite among the group I climb with. The weight is only an issue on multi-pitch routs so if that's what y…

We just built a climbing wall in the garage, and this was the 3rd set of holds that we bought. On a vertical wall, these would be really juggy and positive. On our 33d wall, t…

I got a couple of these to act as belaying biners. They function well enough (not my least favorite screwgate), but there are a couple things that Metolius could improve upon.…

Huge padding in all the areas you need it, great big beefy gear loops that you can hang a portaledge off of without any qualms. The main criticism of it vs other bigwall harn…
