Well I have put Mammut to the ultimate test this
past weekend with my climbing partner Bobbi Bensmen, during the 24hrs Of
Horseshoe Hell in Jasper Arkansas. We were climbing in the Mammut Togira Harness,
I sent 100 pitches, and tried more, in 24hrs with no harness rash. After
finally taking that harness off I then gave it a quick look to see how it held
up to the major test of 24hrs straight climbing, all I can say is my harness
looks brand new. I was very pleased with the design of the plastic piece that
protects your harness from rub when you’re tied in. I went the whole comp with
out really ever noticing I was wearing the thing, which is amazing when we were
in it for so long and climbed so many pitches. This has just been my favorite
harness to climb in. I highly recommend it to anyone for any kind of climbing. With
its big gear loops and lightness and it even has special loops for ice
climbing, I would say it is the best do all harness. Along with us climbing in
Mammut harness, we were also given a Mammut Infinity 95 rope. We pushed the
limits with this rope, with over 200 pitches in 24hrs. After all that climbing
I was still able to take the rope home to continue to be used. We fell on it,
we lowered off it rubbing over rocks, and tied in over and over with it and the
sheath held up beautifully with no frays, breaks or fuzzing going on and no
core shots. The rope took a good beating and held up to everything we through
at it.

Shamon Review
A few months back, on one of my quick
tricks back through Salt Lake City, I stopped into my old climbing gym and ran
in to good old Jason Price, who trough a pair of Shamans at me and said try
these out for the night. Well about a month ago on my way back from The Red
River George, I stopped through Boulder CO to Say hi and climb with the rad
Bobbi Bensman, who kicked me down a pair of Shamans. Well I love these shoes; I
use them on everything from my warm-ups to my projects. They edge beautify,
surprisingly smear well, are stiff and aggressive yet you don’t want to cry
when they are on for those 40m routes. THEY JUST ROCK! I have put them to the
test with heal hooks, toe hooks, greasy foot holds, over hanging to slabbier
routes and they have passed all their test with an A++. Goood Bye all other climbing shoes, say
hello to Evolv

Ten Sleep
Well it has been so fun to call the town of Ten Sleep my home since the end of June, and will continue to be my home until September 1. I have just fallen in love with the rock here and plan to return every summer to climb more.
There has been some heart breaks with "El Jefe" my Jeep that has been my home for the last year on the road. But my side kick in action Cypress and I walked away unharmed.

I have also checked out some of the climbing in Lander, and the hidden gem of Suicide Point. The most amazing and beautiful line I have climbed.

Not to mention our (Dyl, Jenny and Khristian) crazy 2+hr adventure to find the City of Gold here in Ten Sleep. Well after almost giving up and turning back to camp, we rounded the corner to a glorious sight
