Hi Forum,

So far you guys have been awesome about posting gear reviews on many products. For example, the Omega Pacific Link Cam has 18 reviews! That is awesome. And more than just the numbers, there has been a lot of thoughtful stuff posted that not only helps other climbers but also helps us when doing future tests.

Thank you.

There still are about 50 products or so with no reviews. It could be its because people don't use them. Or it could be more like the broken window theory: we need one broken window (review) and then all the windows will be broken (many reviews). This gear just needs a good break to open the flood gates of thoughtful criticism.

So, we would be psyched if you could check out the products that don't have any reviews. If you have used the gear, and have something thoughtful to say about it, we would really appreciate your review!

Here is a link to all the products that don't have reviews. Just keeping clicking the next button in the bottom right corner to scroll through

Chris, I have a pair of the Metolius 8 step aid ladders that was given to me as a Christmas present. I like the fact that they are a slightly more narrow profile than that of the yates. I just recently got the rest of my set up dialed in so, once I have the chance to give them a good work out I can then submit my review.

"Loney" gear? It must be a Freudian Slip, from those people who said they hadn't bought new gear since...well, ever...but might be able to pop out a review if they got some booty out of the deal.
