Review: Black Diamond AL Momentum Harnesses
Manufacture Description: "Bringing all-season versatility to Black Diamond's Momentum harness platform, the Momentum AL is designed with adjustable leg loops that let you add layers or adjust fit on the fly—perfect for ice climbing, multi-pitch routes or seasonal drift in waistline.
Honest Abe Review:
Honest Abe Approval: YES
Retail Price: $49.95
Manufacture Warranty: 1 year
Material: Nylon and closed cell foam
Weight: 14 oz.
Pros: At 14 oz.it weighs less than many of the competitor's similar harnesses. It has plenty of padding on the waist and legs loops, giving it a comfortable fit. Black Diamond has added 4 gear loops to this harness giving you plenty of room for your gear. At $49.95 this harness is also very affordable. Like most of Black Diamond's products, it is very durable as well. I am pretty hard on my gear and this harness has shown no sign of wear or defect.
Cons: Not too many. It has a 1 year manufacture warranty unlike the 3 year that Petzl provides on most harnesses (most of theirs are more expensive as well).
Overview: If you looking to buy a new climbing harness, whether beginner or expert, this harness is definitely the way to go. Why spend more when you can get everything you need and more with this one.

Urban Climbing - Mammut
You might not think urban climbing would be very exciting but this video might change your mind.
Petzl Grigri Instructional Demo Video
We're sure most climbers have used one of these before at some point. The Petzl Grigri is an amazing piece of equipment that can add extra safety to an inherently dangerous sport. This video will help you to understand how Petzl designed it to be used. It might be different than the way you were taught.
$94.95 may seem expensive when comparing it to other standard belay devices but when it saves your life it just might be worth it.
Marmot - Climbing Video
Now that things are starting to cool off, conditions can be perfect for climbing. Here is pretty epic climbing video/advertisement from Marmot
Angela Hawse, Christian Santelices, Keith Garvey, Ace Kvale
I directed this little film during the early part of November. Ace Kvale was kind enough to invite me along for one of his shoots with Marmot athletes, who also happen to be some of the best mountain guides in the world. This is the culmination of those two days in the desert.
