Chris Holloway

I work within outdoor education in Stoke on Trent, I work on a combination of centre based, school based and expedition based work, and have a real passion for what I do. Another passion of mine in addition to my work is outdoor gear, I love to keep myself up to date with the latest innovations in gear, this invariably leads to me having the latest gear! I try to attend gear conferences and workshops when possible to keep myself up to date!

I have owned several sets of wires over my time climbing, these have ranged in brand and cost. However I will never again stray from the wallnuts. I have found that they seem to fit better in cracks than other wires I have used. The range of sizes you get with a 1-11 set is also a positive, with the small size being similar to a micro wire, and the large size being slightly larger than a small hex. The annodising on the wallnuts makes them easy to identify when racked, I have found myself looking at a crack and thinking "right that looks like a gold sized crack", meaning I can instantly look at my rack and grab the right size quickly. I have used these in winter, summer and during group sessions for rigging top ropes etc, and I am yet to find a flaw!

Good job DMM!

The Metolius freenut is an innovative nutkey - provided you with a nutkey that has a built in karabiner to clip it to your harness, save's having to carry it on a seperate karabiner. The freenut also has a slightly weighted end, which is ideal for knocking stuck gear out of place!

Well there isn't much new here! It's a lighter Reverso4. For those of you who don't know the Reverso 3 is an excellent plate, and the Reverso4 is a new version of that!

On the Reverso3

"I owned the previous Reverso and really liked it, except for the horror of having to release it in guide mode under load (very difficult). The Reverso3 has address this issue by creating a small hole in the bottom, this allows you to use a karabiner as a lever to release the slack. Overall the Reverso3 is a great belay plate, the guide mode is good, it is smooth to abseil with, and most of all it works well with all rope diameters (I used a 10.5mm and a 8.1mm). "

The Reverso4 is basically the above but 25% lighter!
