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.

Top quality as always
Once again another banging item from Nimsdai. Have the trekking trousers already so thought it’s time for the shorts.
Same quality as the trousers & will be tested on Old Man of Coniston later this month weather dependent.

Just what I was looking for !!
I was on the lookout for a Technical Shirt and decided on this. The quality is 2nd to none. Not a stich out of place and top quality fabric. It performs exactly how I expected and makes me feel like I'm wearing quality. I love the fact it comes in 3 different colours to blend with my surroundings. Although I've only go the one, I am expecting to get the full set of 3.
