I am a mountaineering instructor since many many years now and have used practically most of the modern gear. Just bought this new GRIVEL NIMSDAI 2 x 8 Figure of 8. It is light weight and has a curved shape which will be very useful in rappelling, both with more friction and with less friction due to it's unique shape. It is will be an excellent belay device too. Very soon it is going to be field tested in my Rock Climbing Camps for kids at Mt. ABU.

Essential piece of clothing
my brother bought this for me in December 24. It is the best base layer ever. I have a serious phobia of getting clothes over my head (weird i know 😂) however because of the way this unzips i never struggle or panic. the face covering is a god send in cold weather. basically…i wear this from November until march !! it washes so easily and dries quick, overnight.. i need/want the ladies blue one but its always out of stock. i take a size 10 and the small is great
