What we liked

  • + Light weight makes it easy to carry on a harness during multi-pitch routes
  • + Sticky approach rubber grips on scrambling and slab descents
  • + Comfortable enough for everyday wear and travel between climbs

Trade-offs

  • - Lighter build gives less support under heavy loads than burly models
  • - Older listing may not reflect the latest Crux version
