Metolius Behemoth is a Monster Pad
We actually used this thing as a mattress for car camping a couple of times before I got to take it out to the boulders. After a couple of sessions at Coal Creek, where the landings are typically less than ideal, I was sold. This thing is huge, and easily covers over a large area […]
Review: FiveTen Galileos Can Edge On A Dime
I’ve had these shoes for about a year now. In the past my experience with 5.10 was that they made good shoes which didn’t hold up well over time.
