2:15 hopefully beeing belayed feels the same on every device.
Also how big is that rope tarp on the crag wagon? I only ask because my 70m rope spills over the integrated rope tarp of my Petzl Kliff bag and its quite annoying
The Crag Wagon tarp is roughly 3X4 feet. If you are looking for a larger rope tarp for your current bag we sell the Mammut Neon Rope Tarp which can hold up to an 80M 9.8mm rope.
Maybe this is a recent development, but I believe the crag wagon also comes in a 35L version as well as the 45 and 60L ones you mentioned
You are correct. There are now 35L and 45L models, as well as the 60L. This video is a few years old, and our current stock reflects the latest models.
hello guys! I´m getting hard into this discipline and thinking very counsciously about this shoe. I know that confort at the beggining is important but I know that my progress will be quick. On the other hand I have a wide foot, high instep and 28cm lenght. My thougths are bewteen the Otaki and Kubo (both on 10.5 US). I know that the Otaki is a higher performance shoe but, as I said, my progression will be quick and I don´t want to buy another shoe on the short term so, which one would you recommend? Your comments shall be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It’s amazing you’re fired up about getting into climbing and putting so much thought into your shoes. The Kubo vs. Otaki should not be looked at as a beginner vs. entry-level shoe, but rather as two different shoes with different characteristics. Most notably, the Kubo is quite a bit softer and has rubber on top of the toe box for toe hooking. This would make the Kubo more ideal for routes that involve toe hooks or benefit from a softer shoe, such as indoor volumes or outdoor smearing. You will also have better sensitivity with the Kubo. On the flip side, the Otaki is stiffer, making it ideal for vertical edging on the smallest of holds; however, this does come at the cost of less sensitivity. Although these are the shoes' strengths, they are still considered all-around shoes, making them both quite versatile. The biggest tip for someone like yourself is to choose a shoe that fits rather than one that has the features you want. A Kubo that fits perfectly will edge better than a poorly fitted Otaki. Secondly, don’t worry too much about choosing the wrong style of shoe. Shoes don’t last forever, especially when you are newer and still learning good footwork. The reality is if you don’t like your first pair of shoes, you will be able to try something different when they wear out.
@@climbonequipment I really appreciate you guys taking time to explain with details in order to share your knowlledge with this rookie. It meant a world to me. Now I know I have to take it easy and just try to have fun and I'll focus on comfort so I´m going for the Aragon model. You guys rock!
You're welcome and remember, the best climber is the one having the most fun! (quote from the late Alex Lowe)
Does the Neox twist the rope up like the grigri into a pile of coils?
It is less likely to twist the rope compared to the GRIGRI when belaying however if you are trying to drag someone up on TR or lowering them and excessively use the the right hand side friction plate you will most likely induce some twists. So far I have yet to have a super twisted rope as a result of the NEOX although I know it will happen at some point as that’s just the nature of these things. Generally speaking the straighter the rope can travel the less twists will be created.
This is perfect for me. My gym has recently switched over to assisted braking devices only so tubular style devices are not allowed. Been lead belaying with an ATC for almost 10 years and didn’t like the feel of feeding rope with a Grigri. If this Neox is close to the smoothness of an ATC, I’m all for it. I don’t mind that it’s heavier.
Sounds like a perfect match for you! The learning curve going from ATC -> NEOX is waaay lower than it is going to a GRIGRI, especially for lead climbing.
I'd say it actually feels smoother than an atc!
@@redanansi that’s amazing. I wonder if the heft of the device contributes to that, since the weight provides more stability. Kinda like how a sinker works with a fishing lure if that makes any sense. Anyway, I have an orange one on order!
@redanansi, I totally agree
Have a NEOX on order. Looking forward to it. I have a grigri, but I really don't like to override the cam. I prefer the belay technique where you don't override the grigri cam and the NEOX will be perfect for me.
Great to hear you have one on order! It sounds like the NEOX is perfect for you. I have personally been quite pleasantly surprised by how well it handles.
@@climbonequipment Great job on this video. Explains some questions I had on the device.
Thank you 🙏 We appreciate the support
Do you guys have any thoughts on using it for Lead Rope Solo?
Based on our initial testing, we would not recommend this. In addition to the potential issue of the device not grabbing fast enough, there is also the risk of the breaking mechanism or handle getting blocked, preventing it from engaging at all.

You wait years for a new climbing device and then three come along at once.
That’s definitely true, especially with Petzl.
Best rep in the biz!
No doubt Ross is one of our favorites!
I’m gonna need one of these
It’s one of those things that once you have it you question how you went so long without it.
Can you trade in your old ohm
Haha, if only it was that easy!
unfortunately, small sizes of Z4 (those with one axis) have the risk of one pair of cams rotating, which makes it impossible to embed them in the rock; this problem does not occur in small X4 and other microcams; this is a serious problem (obviously a design problem), but it can be fixed with home methods;
Annyoing music and video editing, can barely hear the guy and see the actual carabiners.
Replaces the quad... lol

I have issues saving the data. It says “Type in a tag”. Do you know how to resolve this?
Thanks for reaching out! When saving data you need to create a tag to save your data under. For the first time you can type in the tag after your workout. The most common tagging strategy is left hand and right hand although you can create as many tags as you’d like. Once created you can simply choose any of your existing tags for your data to be saved under. Hope this helps.
theory and drago not mentioned is suprising in my experience they have been amazing to use def rec
We do not stock the Theory and just received stock of the Drago shortly after this was shot. We will be featuring the Drago in our next installment of this series, which should be out in a couple of weeks. We will also have a few of the new no-edge shoes from La Sportiva, such as the Mandala, later this spring.
@@climbonequipment also the futuras :O
We have a couple Futuras on clearance right now.
Good work, I have been looking for a non-REI, non-Amazon source for shoes and I like the rundown here. Would love a version of this for route climbing!
Thank you! We will be releasing a sport climbing edition of this video in the coming weeks, with a trad vision to follow. Definitely stay tuned!
Very nice to hear the resole possability mentioned 💞
It’s always a shame to see perfectly good shoes going into the garbage because of one tiny hole in the rubber. 💚
Excellent products
Thank you
Is that Ethan Salvo climbing in the background?
It sure is Ethan climbing in that last clip!
@@climbonequipment Sweet footage, thought I recognized him!
i have tried so many brandsfor 20 years and i finally found Tenaya keeps my feet healthier and the performance is grate.
What model did you end up with? Many Tenaya fans tend to agree with you. They are definitely one of the more comfortable performance shoes on our wall.
@@climbonequipment i wear the mastia and the indalo models. Very confortable and aweosome performance
no 5.10, no madrock?
Sadly, Adidas has moved away from climbing with the 5.10 brand. The good news is Unparallel is run by the same folks who originally started up 5.10. Many of the Unparallel models resemble some of the old 5.10 classics. As for Mad Rock, we do not currently sell any of their products.
@@climbonequipmentbut no ocun :( they're pretty popular around my area
Where about’s are you from @freddy-dj9pk ? We do carry Ocun crack gloves and apparel although we do not stock any Ocun rock shoes.
very well made. very informative. just what I needed.
That’s great to hear! Thank you for the support
Does the bar add-on also fit the old attache? They look similar enough...
In addition to the newest ATTACHE, the BAR is also compatible with the previous ATTACHE (M38A SL). It is not compatible with any Attache that is older than the M38A model.
Great video, great content. But please drop the music. It's competing with the presentation. I can't follow the details in the talk, and it's a noob move to include such in-your-face-music.
music is annoying, i cant barely hear the guy
Do a short one for approach shoes?
We can probably make that happen! Stay tuned :)
the music is really too loud!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I feel like if you have dead space in your heels(which i always do) the best shoe is the instinct VS. However, i cannot just get smaller shoes as my toes are painful as heck, its not the 1980s anymore and shoes shouldnt have to hurt that much to get a tight sock fit from your shoes without pain
Well said and I agree, pain is not an indicator of higher performance.
"Anatomy bouldering of a shoe"
Came here looking for this.
Same. Respect for the video tho
great video. now i want new shoes despite not needing new shoes....
Every time I work in the store this is exactly how I feel!
The chipping god!!!!!! Allez Gabe also the scamming god
why'd you have to pick this unbearable music to put over the video
Just got the Lynx mf cant wait to test it out💪🏻😎
That’s amazing! Without a doubt you are going to love it
Love my Kodiak bag. Cheers from Oslo.
That’s amazing to hear!
Here's another happy Kodiak owner from Oslo!
Which bad would you recommend for winters (plus shoulder seasons) for use in Northern Sweden, Finland. Sequoia? I temp can dip to -25+, but Im only in these conditions a few weeks a year at most. FO you recommend the MF or Gore fabrics? IS there that much of a packability difference? Thoughts? Selecting the right bag is proving to be challenging. Plus I am a side sleeper... so the rec bags seems a better fit. Thanks!
There are a lot of points to Unpack in your question! But we'll do our best! First, you need to decide what temperatures you will be sleeping at! If you know the range you are camping in it's easier to narrow down what sleeping bag to get. Western Mountaineering rate their bags at the between the Comfort and lower limit rating. Here is a quote from their website: "The ratings we claim represent a temperature that we consider as the low end of a sleeping bag's intended warmth range when used correctly." If you think you'll be regularly camping at -25C in Finland, then you may need to consider a warmer bag like the Puma(-32C) or at the very least the Lynx(-23C) or Bristlecone(-23C). If you are a side sleeper or someone who needs more space, The Sequoia(-15C) and Bristlecone(-23C) are a bit girthier inside diameter. If you like the mummy fit, the Antelope(-15C) or Lynx(-23C) can be good options! You can also special order your chosen sleeping bag and ask for an overfill of Down! Send us an email at [email protected] and we can answer in more detail. A quick note about the Gore before going too far. For the last couple of years, Western Mountaineering has been using the Goretex Infinium Fabric which is a rebranded Goretex Windstopper Fabric. This year Western Mountaineering is moving away from the Gortex because they use PFA and PFCs in the production which is harmful to the environment. This year Western Mountaineering is moving to a new waterproof breathable fabric they are calling Stormshield. We'll still refer to this at the GWS for the time being! When you place your order we'll have to ask which fabric they are using. The MF bags use Western Mountaineering's (WM) MicroLite XP™ 20 Denier microfiber shell. It is the highest thread count at 400 threads per square inch. The intention is to make this highly water resistant, highly breathable, and very lightweight. This would be good for breathability in a wider range of temperatures so you might not sweat as much. The Gore Wind stopper (GWS) material like on the Puma GWS is the most weather resistant/breathable fabric available from WM and provides their best protection against moisture and condensation. The face fabric has a 273 thread count 30 denier. The breathability of the GWS membrane reduces the threat of condensation while remaining plenty water resistant for the needs of a sleeping bag. GWS sleeping bags are intended to be used in damp or extreme conditions to prevent moisture from reducing down performance. Denier is used to determining the thickness of the fibres in the fabric. It’s a unit of density based on the length and weight of a yarn or fibre. A single strand of silk is considered 1 denier. The fibres in a 40-denier nylon fabric have over 6.5 times the diameter of the silk strand, and almost 1.5 times the diameter of fibres in a 20-denier or “20D” nylon fabric. So though the GWS has a smaller thread count, it's less breathable due to the thicker strands in the material. which makes it more weather resistant. but also traps more moisture like sweat inside, which could be good or bad depending on whether you tend to sweat a lot or use it in more of a variety of temperatures. In general the MF fabric is more packable than the thicker GWS fabrics. Cheers, -Erik
@@climbonequipment Thanks E! :) It's a tough decision... on which bag... I've been leaning towards the Seqouia! :)
Your welcome! It’s definitely a worth while investment that’s worth taking the time to research. Don’t rush it if you’re unsure and if needed feel free to ask us any further questions you might have.
@@climbonequipment this decision is maddening... the Versatile is VERY versatile! LOL But teh Sequoia I can use in winter... :) I use Sea to Summit bags mainly for my summer treks... sometimes Nemo...
@TheTrailDancer no one ever said you couldn’t have just one ;) you could start with the Sequoia and sub in your other two bags when needed and at a later date add a second Western Mountaineering bag. I think it’s a tough compromise to have just one bag for people who use them year round in a diverse climate.
Just ordered a Badger Mf can’t wait
Oh, you’re going to love it!
This guy scammed over 50000 CA$ from people on Kickstarter. Some role model...
I LOVE these shoes
We 100% agree with you! Stoked your loving them
Lol wheres the follow up now that hes been revealed as a piece of shit and disgraced from climbing 😂
Best sleeping bag I've ever owned 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is amazing to hear!
Glue is shit on these black ones. Vegan shit glue, soles started to delaminate after 12 sec of usage. Dont buy !
We are sorry to hear that these shoes didn’t last long for you. If you purchased them from Climb On feel free to email us at [email protected] to enquirer about a warranty claim.
Finally they narrowed the heal! Im a woman and the heal was gigantic and I could never use all the heel potencial.
As a narrow footed person I agree with your stoke! I am sure the wide footed people are quietly complaining though
I love using the escaper for some super long routes so I don’t have to bring another rope. In fact, my only gripe is that it is too hard to undo 😂. If I go a full length 70m with it, it takes around 60 pulls.
We hear you on those 70M raps, especially when on a skinny, super stretchy rope. None the less, it’s great to hear your loving the Escaper as much as we are 🙌
Maybe for alpin climbing should be good, but for trad climbing…I think you have to reduce more volume in front of the shoes, this is the key for the perfect trad climbing shoes 😊
Thanks for the feedback! In many ways I am with you (personally I am a die hard Miura lace fan due to it’s low volume toe) however customer feedback has been quite positive with the Generator for trad climbing. Although the toe does have some volume its profile is still quite pointy and has a bit of downturn which enables it to get into most thin cracks equally as well as a shoe like the TC Pro.
good job
Thank you!
