Reed T.

I have been climbing for just over 9 years now. My interest developed after becoming a certified rappel master while in high school. Ever since, I have truly enjoyed the bond I have established with the natural world. Currently I am involved in rock climbing, canyoneering and backpacking. I have met many of my closest friends through these activities, and truly enjoy sharing the knowledge I have.

G-Shock G-Shock 3263 Watch My Review

G-Shock 3263 Watch

I began using this watch in the Army when I jumped out of planes weekly. It has lasted through every adventure I have ever been on, and has a tremendous battery life, as I have never needed to change it. It is a incredibly simple and straightforward device to use for daily wear, to fitness trainers, to the extreme adventurer.

SpeedCross 4 Trail running shoe review

By far the best pair of trail running shoes I have used. Very tough material, and strong tread allows for the toughest of terrain.

Metolius Element Key Lock Belay Carabiner My Review

Element Key Lock Belay Carabiner Review

This locking carabiner, while being a bit smaller than some prefer, it has the mobility for long multipitch routes. The locking mechanism is easy to see and feel when it is full locked, but is easy to release after being weighted.

Black Diamond Index Ascender

Optimus Crux Lite Solo Cook System My Review

Crux Lite Solo Review

This stove is light and powerful. Boils water in about 60 seconds, and cools off in about the same. The titanium cup is sturdy and capable for multiple uses, but gets hot quickly with your morning coffee!

Kelty Coyote 80L Backpack My Review

Coyote 80L backpack Review

Spacious backpack with ample amount of pockets and zippers. The adjustable frame allows for easy set up for any body type, and for any weight being carried. Only improvement needed is the buckles on the waste strap are potentially breakable, but function decently.

Marmot Limelight 2.0 Tent My Review

Limelight 2.0 Tent

This tent has seen more than a full years worth of nights used, and has proven to be easy to use, reliable and spacious. Great for taller adventurers.
