Advantages: comfortable, flexible and light Disadvantages: twists easily
...I have used the Corax for years now. it was my first harness and there has never been a need to replace it. a testament to its durability.
in terms of comfort the corax is well designed. cushioned on the inside of the waist and leg loops to allow the climber to sit back in the harness for longer periods of time than cheaper harness that lack the padding. this is a great advantage when climbing longer routes, after a few hours on the rock you can easily forget that you're wearing it. further more, the padding is very flexible so it does not hinder movement on the rock. if it couldn't get more comfortable, the padding is designed to be breathable, stop those sweat patches building up on those summer days on the crags! even better, despite the extra padding the weight is still low (510g).
the harness is completely adjustable. the front...

Advantages: Big Big Big and Comfortable Disadvantages: Price
...The problem is that I love cycling and with that I mean long distances preferably cross country and seeing that I always listern to my mother I try to go with all that I need a clean pair of pants and all the safety kit.
This is where I encounter my problem to cycle far you need ideally a lot of kit from spare inner tubes to tools and from dry clothing to waterproofs and food and that takes up space, something there is not a lot of when you are cycling up some mountain.
To solve this problem I got myself a Camelbak TransAlp.

Advantages: Fantastic design - great for beginners Disadvantages: Can be difficult when using thick or stiff ropes
...There isn't much you can say about things like belay devices, but I do know that when you are just getting into climbing and there is an entire wall covered in strange climbing related objects it would be nice to have someone point you in the right direction.
What is a belay and what is it for? Basically when you climb (99% of the time) you climb with a partner. Your partner is there to catch you when you fall and to do so so he or she needs some sort of device that gives full control of the speed of the rope. The rope is folded over and threaded through the hole in the belay plate, then the loop that has been threaded through is attached to your harness via a screw gate carabiner. The loose end of the rope should be hanging down towards the floor and the end attached to the climber points up.
To stop the rope from moving the loose end...
