Gerber Flick Open Multitool: Review

By Anonymous
The Multi Tool when it's folded
The Gerber Multitool I have is a great tool that I carry almost everywhere. I have needed it many times to fix many different things including a euphonium, tent, open boxes, and more. This multitool has a pair of pliers, knife, 3 screwdrivers, a bottle opener, can opener, a file, and wire cutters. The tools I have used most are the pliers and the knife. Every tool on this multitool is locking. This includes the pliers. This multitool fits well in a pocket and is very versatile. Despite being slightly heavy, the usefulness outweighs the weight. All-in-all, this is a great tool that is inexpensive and useful.

    Isn't the flick open part the pliers? Could you explain why you needed to fix a euphonium? I heard the story, but others might not have. Another good gear review.

    Flick open knifes are really cool. Assisted ones are dangerous though (I know that one isn't assisted).

    I like this post because it was simple and got to the point but was also interesting.

Petzl Saka Climbing Chalk Bag Review

By Anonymous
The chalk bag filled with chalk When you are doing rock climbing or bouldering many people use chalk. People use chalk to make their hands less sweaty and improve their grip. When most people are climbing they bring a chalk bag filled with chalk in case they have to use chalk mid-climb. If you are going bouldering, most people bring a large chalk bucket that is meant to be left on the ground. This chalk bag is medium sized and is made with a fairly strong material. This chalk bag is made by the climbing supplies company Petzl. The inside of the chalk bag is soft on the top and on the bottom is a similar material to the outside. On the right side of the bag there are 2 chalk brush slots. The bag is designed to be able to be opened with one hand if you forget to open it before climbing. The belt is adjustable and the bag can be used without a climbing harness. This is useful if you want to use it while bouldering. I am currently using this bag when climbing and it works great. ...

Deuter ACT Zero 50+15

By Anonymous
I was given this pack 2 years ago for christmas and have used it on countless trips since. This pack has a lot of room for gear but the pack it self weighs very little. The top part of the pack can be removed and turned into a small summit pack. I use that feature when I want to bring a daypack but don't want to have to bring a whole new pack. This pack is also compatible with most hydration reservoirs. This is a very high quality pack and my only complaint is the lack of sleeping pad/tent straps (This feature is added in the newer version of the pack.) Some pics I took of the pack: The front of the pack without the top on  The back of the pack without the top on The top of the pack converted to the summit pack The back of the pack with the top on

The DIfference Between Top Rope Climbing, Lead Climbing and Bouldering

By Anonymous
Top Rope Climbing Recently I had the opportunity to try both top rope climbing and bouldering at EVO in Portland. I also learned about lead climbing. Rock Climbing is the most basic of all of these three methods. This is when you climb up a fairly tall rock wall and you are tethered to the top of the wall and to a belayer. This is the safest of these methods when done correctly. Lead Climbing Lead Climbing is when you are climbing up a rock wall but are not tethered to the top of the wall. As you climb you clip your rope into different carabiners on the rock wall. You are also tethered to a belayer on the ground. When you are lead climbing if you fall, you will generally fall from 6 to 20 feet (Twice the distance from you to your last tie-off point). You generally want a belayer who is heavier than you so that when you fall they don't fly into the air. Bouldering Bouldering is when you climb up a wall that is about 16 feet tall without being strapped/h...
