Thanks TCI & Sherrill Tree! I was just having (seriously) lots of fun adding my two cents to the Gear Rater, which I truly feel is a really good tool for climbers researching the purchase of new or additional gear. I wish that the gear rater was around when I was buying my original setup, and I do hope that it helps people make informed decisions about the gear that is available and it's strengths and weaknesses. And maybe just maybe the manufacturers will take note of some of our constructive criticisms and our gear will keep getting better and safer to boot! Needless to say, I am thrilled at having won, and will continue to add to the gear rater regardless of whether there is a contest going on or not, and I hope that everyone else will too.
