Not once whilst writing this review have I wished, whilst pumped and scared, that I had any other cams racked to my harness and were I to buy any micro-cam on the market today - this would be it. In fact, if I felt like I needed a double set of cams, or was strong enough to carry another set, I'd buy another set straight away. They are quick to place, confidence inspiring and well made. All that could be done to improve the set would be to make a smaller size!go to full review

The Genius are a unique pair of shoes to climb in and despite my original cynicism regarding the no-edge design it worked well in practice, particularly on steeper ground. Obviously they are a shoe for a more technical/advanced user and as a result are best suited towards higher level bouldering/sport climbing. As a final word, these are without doubt a shoe I will re-buy after my existing pair wears out and are likely to become part of the collection of rock boots I regularly use.go to full review

A good stiff shoe with excellent C4 rubber. Not quite the same as the laser precise 'White' but with a more comfortable and better heel and a more asymmetric shape. The plastic midsole and thick feeling rubber give a lot of support for long edgy pitches, and the upper, tongue and liner are very comfortable. The thickness does mean a loss of sensitivity and not a great ability on smears. The pointy front end doesn't affect the fit, but does slot in to some pockets. Good shoes, great on the..." go to full review

In conclusion: a good, “performance all-rounder” but designed for those of us with fat feet! If you have had trouble getting shoes wide enough in the past, the Ozone Plus should definitely be on your list of shoes to try, and for those with more dainty slim feet it’s slimmer brother and sister models are also well worth considering. The UK RRP for the Ozone Plus is 100 pounds, far from cheap but definitely cheaper than the RRP on many models it will compete against, and currently the shoe is..." go to full review

Good all-round comfortable shoes. They retail at £110 RRP but I have seen them considerably cheaper - so bargains are available. Not the shoe to totally push your limits, but for a comfortable semi-technical shoe, they do the job and they do it with 'out of the box' comfort. Personally I wasn't sure about the look of the silver red and blue design, but each to his own!go to full review

The Hirundos is lightweight harness that is both comfortable and built to last. Weight-wise it is still at the top of it's game and with an RRP of £80 it is actually quite price competitive compared to other harnesses in the category, which are now reaching into the £100+ (ouch...). From a trad climbers perspective the two rear gear loops let it down due to their soft nature, but for sport climbers and mountaineers this is less of an issue - particuarly considering how good the front two are..." go to full review

The fit and feel of the harness I think is great. This is different to its sizing. What I mean is it feels pretty neat and compact when your wearing it. It doesn't have bits of excess padding not held in place if you have the waist done right up to its maximum limit. There isn't lots of slack elastic NOT holding up your leg loops or loosening off of their own accord. When it's all adjusted properly all the excess straps stay neatly tucked away. It looks smart!go to full review

If size is what you’re looking for, look no further. The downside to this is that with size comes weight and this is definitely a factor to take into consideration if you live in an area where the walk-ins are more substantial than where I’m based in the Peak District. In terms of built quality the pad is second to none and I could very much see myself falling on this in another 5-10 years time. Out of the box the foam definitely feels a bit on the firm-side, but in time it softens up nicely..." go to full review

With an RRP of £225, it’s definitely at in top price bracket for mats. Given the build quality, the features and the fact the FTS foam system works REALLY well, I can’t recommend this mat any higher. If you’re looking for a new mat and have the space in your car/home for it, go for it. You won’t be disappointed!go to full review

You'll find lighter 12-point crampons; you'll find more aggressive climbing-oriented ones; and you could certainly pay a bit less for a pair. But for the average UK hill-goer in search of something versatile the Grivel Air Tech is agood well-built compromise between weight versus durability, and climbing performance versus walking comfort. From snowy fell walks to mountaineering ridge traverses, easier Scottish winter gullies to classic Alpine routes, they are a solid choice.go to full review
