I did the Nose in a Day with these bad boys, with like 2 days of breaking them in. they are the master. they look brand new, still, after jugging 3200 feet (my partner and i both jugged in the same pair) with no sole delamination or lace problems. We went hard on these, and they are still great. I like these way way better than the five ten camp four's, which I had used for similar things in the past. the Xplorer's handled the East Ledges descent slabs really really well too. sticky and burly and light! perfect.

not for days when it is just nuking! I now live in UT and have worn them in all conditions with great success, long length side zips are great for temperature control on the skinner, but if I were in the Pacific NW I would likely go with something a bit more waterproof. we can kind of get away with murder here in UT.

I am 6'1" and a medium is perfect. (seems like patagonia and OR share sizing for the most part)

great belay jacket! light and warm! I am 6'1" with long arms and the large is a bit big, if you like a form-fitting jacket maybe go with a medium. I like this a bit bigger than normal, however.

simple cheap alternative to Reverso/ ATC Guide

My keeper loop has been mangled as per Simon Hatfield, as well. However, this does not affect the performance or functionality of this really lightweight autoblocking-style belay device. this is also 10 bucks cheaper than the ATC guide or the Reverso, which more than makes up for the cosmetic plastic tears on the keeper loop. A great belay device for any sort of multipitch climbing.

And if you're like me... you will drop this sucker before you end up wearing it out, so the reduced price in comparison to the ATC guide/ Reverso is quite appreciated!

I love these pants! they are just a bit stretchy, and not too baggy. I got mediums, usually wear a 32 with a belt, and the sizing was perfect. the built in belt looks pretty tough, but we will see if it lasts. really happy with these simple but comfortable pants. great for bouldering!

I like these guys in the cracks- They are tight fitting but not too painful in small cracks and are really good at smearing your way up the sandstone. Solid in the gym too.
