Black Diamond Mondo Crash Pad
September 22, 2008
If you don't want to spend the cash check out BD's other smaller pads like the Impact. That's what I have and I love it. Also, look at Metolius pads like the Cheap Bastard and Fat Bastard. However, if you see yourself bouldering much in the future, buy this pad. It's fantastic. Especially, if you're only going to have one pad, get this thing. It's huge, thick, and burly.

Gregory Z 30 Backpack - 1650-1920cu in
September 13, 2008
1)Call Gregory and see what they can do for you. They may have you send it in and replace the zipper for a nominal fee. I've had great experiences with their costumer service in the past.2)Take it in to a local gear shop. Ask if they have a seamstress (or know of one) that will do custom jobs.3)Buy a new pack! Buying new stuff is always fun!

Your standard 1.5-2 L hydration pouch will fit this pack. Either Camelback or Platypus should work. Anything bigger than 2 L will start to be a squeeze.

Five Ten Prism Lace-up Climbing Shoe
September 9, 2008
I've climbed in them and I think the Prisms are fine smearers. However, bear in mind that this shoe is designed (and marketed) for its edging prowess. The day you get them out of the box, you might be disappointed in their smearing ability, but they'll only get better from here on out. In my experience, the more worn the shoe, the better the smearing, YMMV.

Petzl Grigri Belay Device
August 25, 2008
I use a grigri primarily for sport belaying for the same advantages you get when top-rope belaying: If the climber is going to spend large amounts of time hanging on the rope, it makes the belayers job SO MUCH easier. I usually don't use a grigri when belaying trad because the device will lock up immediately in the event of a fall, creating a less dynamic belay (dynamic belays are a good thing, especially when climbing trad when gear may be suspect). I'll usually use a ATC when belaying trad. The grigri is a excellent piece of equipment and wonderful tool when used properly.
