New Gear for 2011

Here is a link to a review from the UK Outdoor Retailer show. I only wish I needed some new climbing gear. I have been told that I "have enough". Take a look at the BD Gridlock, Petzl Ange, the two DMM biners, and BD's new wire hooded biner. I found the Grivel video on how they test everyone of their biners interesting. If you watch it look when it is loaded by the machine. You will be able to see the biner stretch and contact and then load the gate. Pretty cool to us gear nerds. http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/news.php?id=2910

"You can never have enough gear."

(You can quote me if needed.)

I actually don't mind this song.

Sweet gear. I guess the trick is to climb enough that you are wearing gear out so that you always need more. It's clear that you're doing a better job of this than me. I do have a full rack now. I'll have to snap some pics and send them to you.
