    Sell me on an alternative climbing stick to my 30” Hawk Heliums

    I’m currently using a set of 30” hawk helium sticks. While they get the job done, they are somewhat of a pain to carry around (carrying by hand, so I probably should invest in a better pack sooner than later). However, I’d like to get some suggestions on a better climbing stick, that doesn’t...

    Oplux rope vs htp or predator

    I was looking at changing my current rope system to the oplux rope, due to less bulk and lightweight. Before I go an pull the trigger does anyone have a picture of the oplux rope next to htp, predator or tethrd rope they offer as well. Really want to see a size comparison before I make the change.
