    Is this rope okay?

    I'm looking to get into DbRT, and eventually SRT with saddle hunting. I just ordered the Mantis saddle, and I'm trying to get all the gear together I will need.

    Wild Edge knock off??

Not sure what to think and I emailed the seller for specs such as rope length, weight, and general spec info. Haven’t got any response and I’m curious if anyone else has seen these or...

    Thinking about adding an Etrier to my climbing method but concerned about safety.

    I've been thinking about adding an etrier to my current climbing method as opposed to a standard aider for my Wild Edge Steps to shave a little pack space and weight. Any climbing method aiders sound great to me from a standpoint of shaving weight and pack space, but I'd rather not sacrifice...
