I would pay $800 for a silent partner I think there should be another production run it's almost $2,000 now

Just bought one and off to the display it goes

I bought two of them many years ago and I’ve been using one for at least the last 1213 years rope soloing and the other one I sold only two years ago. I got 8×9 times as much is what I paid for it for the they are very good if ever you get the chance this particular device is brilliant it will stop any for no matter how you fall sideways upside down and it’s very Easy to use once you get used to it it is wonderful and I say I use it all the time very good highly recommended so if you see one for sale don’t worry about the cost. It’s well worth it. I still kept one the one I’ve been using the one I sold was brand-new, still in the packet.

El Mudo is newer device - ruclips.net/video/afJqFzH5WYk/видео.htmlsi=xDvDhA2bPIieJuVf

Wow, glad I held on to mine.

Bought an unused one for $2000 dollars and was well worth it. If you actually want to do something as dangerous as solo climbing a few thousand dollars for top of the line gear is something you should heavily consider.

i just put both gloves on, and caveman scooped it out of the jar with my thumb and rubbed it in... Soaked in amazing and broke in a bit

I have climbed lead rope solo for over 25 years. I have done most of that with a Rock Exotica Soloist. I own a Silent Partner as well, but I much prefer the soloist. If you know what you are doing, it feeds much better on hard leads than the Silent Partner. The issue of falling upside down is overblown on the Soloist, and you can do things to deal with it. The Soloist is the only device I have found that will play out the rope smoothly with only the bare minimum of slack and without hardly any friction as you lead past your protection. I recently bought the El Mudo 2 and El Mudo 3, and will be climbing more with them. So far, they don't seem to feed as well as the Soloist, so I still think the Soloist wins. Too bad they discontinued it years ago.

yeah am stay with grigri with quick release stopper knot

maybe a good idea to point out that using some of devices shown (ropeman, microtraxion) is a definitive "YGD" (ye'r gonna die!) if you talk about lead-rope-soloing. they may be OK in top-rope-soloing, but LRS is a whole different kind of animal ;)

There is another reason why SP isn't being rerun: there are tons of other, equally safe alternatives. Once the price would drop due to new supply, the hype would die and nobody would want to get one.

I love rope soloing! See my videos on my channel 🙂. Despite the recent hype on free soloing, I think it is a good thing to use a rope when you go climb solo! Here: I can say I climbed El Cap solo climbing. And I fell doing so, but survived! Not a lot of people can say so! Thanks for the video 🙂. By the way the clove hitch you show on the SP is in the wrong orientation for the device to work properly. Regards.

I would buy one if I did that sport

What are your discontinued favorites?

Thanks for the video! I'm trying to decide which of these two pairs to buy - do you have a preference, or any thoughts on differences between them?

Thanks! Great video! Very informative and I love the sounds and the soothing narration. It's very relaxing. I will be working as a lifty at my local ski mountain and I heard Kincos and Sno Seal is the way to go for gloves. I don't have a hairdryer or a heat gun, so I tossed the gloves in my oven on the lowest heat setting for a minute to melt the wax. Hopefully they will work great this winter!

Shame that Brooks have all high drop shoes now coz they have the best toe box and look normal /good too

I can't do it. I wore my zero drop today and walked a mile at the park. I attempted to run and I was in too much pain. I was stuck wearing them at work and I walk alot. I was limping. I immediately went back to my Nike free runs and I could walk like a normal person. I had a flare up of plantar fascities and I think it was because I wore my old running shoes too long. Anyhow plantar is very difficult to get rid of. When I wear zero drop it just hurts, makes my calfs tight.

Never going back. I chose Altra lone peak all weather boots (I live in rainy England) and Altra Timp 4 for drier days. Straight out the box comfort for my stubby wide, splayed toed feet. No lower back pain any more and foot pain caused by too tight shoes is gone. Bliss

Surprised you didn’t mention the toe box! If any of you are like me… once I started wearing shoes with a wide/ergonomic toe box, well I haven’t looked back. I only wear barefoot/minimalistic shoes or functional footwear as many call it nowadays. I’m about a year into my switch and I don’t ever for see myself going back.

I usually always ran in 5mm drop shoes, I got the vaporflys which are 8mm and developed knee pain I had never experienced before, expensive lesson but good to finally learn about heel drops!

I became a zero/low drop fan trying out the first nike alphaflies, which essentially have zero drop even though it says 4mm (which is only true as long as no one is wearing them, it's 0mm as soon as you step in). It made me ditch all of my Brooks shoes for good and go from Hoka (5mm)to Altra (0mm). While I love Altra for their zero drop and wide toe box, I hate two things about them. Compared to shoes like the Hooka Mach 5 and Asics Noosa 14, they are really really heavy and the energy return of the ego foam is only on level with Brooks but not as good as the recent Hoka, Saucony and Asics products and nowhere near Nikes ZoomX or React foams which are the gold standard in this regard. So while I love Altras for my everyday runs, I wouldn't use them for races. I still got my Alphafly V1s for that, but I'll be in trouble once they wear down. The Alphafly 2 has a 8mm drop and is heavy...so hopefully Sone 0-5mm Brand will have caught up by then.

links?

How does Nikwax compare to a product like Sno Seal? I've been using Sno Seal for decades on my boots. Just purchased a pair of Kinco 901 gloves. Was going to apply Sno Seal on it. But my gloves came with a small packet of Nikwax. How does Nikwax differ from Sno Seal? Will Nikwax harden the glove making me lose dexterity?

Super helpful thanks

I switched to zero drop running shoes. It helped me get rid of my plantar fasciitis (which I suspect was caused by a new pair of quite high drop shoes I’d bought). I had no difficulty transitioning to a zero drop shoes. And, if you think about it, when you walk barefoot in your home, you have zero drop from your heel to your forefoot.

I know I'm very late, but have you ever tried hoka? Or maybe an insole to mitigate your gate? Ifk where you live, but check out a tradehome shoe store, we will take care of you man.

Was looking for information about Altras. Haven't heard of them before. I'm using Xero shoes ( Mesa Trail) and they're a huge factor in overcoming my chronic plantar fascitis and ankle and knee issues. Thanks

So i feel a bit soreness in my heel not my knee.. i wonder if those shoes would help that

Altra is my only choice!

I am a fan of low to zero drop shoes. They can be hard to get used to though. Especially tough on your calves. I have a pair of New Balance Minimus shoes that I pulled out of the vault from back in the days when barefoot running was the rage. I ran 5 miles in them this morning. I am using them while I recover from a hamstring strain. Great post!

몇년전에 런닝화를 선물받아 잘신었는데 낡고 떨어져 똑같은 알트라런닝화를 살려고 백방으로 노력했어나 못샀는데 유투브에 그신발을 선전하는데 생산하지않어면 안되는것 아닙니까?

Ciao! mi consiglieresti una scarpa da tutti giorni per un budget limitato?

I had the Brooks Ghost 13's......Brooks sells millions of them every year. They had a 12mm drop, they felt like running in elevated high heels. I am a midfoot strike runner, most people are heel strikers. Those Ghosts messed me up. !

Wait you heel strike when you run downhill? I only use the balls of my feet when the surface is slanted downwards. Makes me wonder what might be more common.

Nikes made my feet go numb. I wear Xero shoes now with no problems except for knee pain.

Running long distance is just plane bad period. It's an ego thing. Average life expectancy seriously drops. People who live to 100 most never even exercised just lived moderate lives and never got fat. No special diets either.

i find that the paradigm causes extreme supination. i will try a torin next

To me Altra are the very best, nothing compares..

Over the last couple of years I've gone from 8-10mm drop shoes, to 6mm, and now I'm rotating 4mm drop Saucony's and love the lower drop. I'm about to pick up a pair of trail shoes and was thinking of the 4mm drop Peregrine, but I'm really intrigued by the 0mm shoes too. What to do? Maybe get both? :)

Sorry for the ignorance, but what does zero drop mean?

So why did you switch to a more cushioned ride?

I have been running for 17 years. Only 1 time have I had any achilles tendon issues: When I ran the New Balance Zante shoes at 5 mm drop. A zero drop would kill me!

Love my torin 5 lone peak 5 superior 4.5

I experienced the same thing as you: "normal" running shoes caused knee pain and minimal shoes were love at first sight. A couple of years ago, Brooks had great minimal shoes like the PureConnect. But they've decided not to follow that path anymore or only on a low profile.

Hi, what do you think about the asics metaride ? They also have 0 drop but I don’t know if the feeling is the same

But why are zero drop shoes--- generally speaking--- not for everyone?

What about the Altra Torin 4,5. Very much cushioned, soft and slow, but smart?

Thanks for the review. I'm considering this or the Lone Peak 4.5 for day hikes. I'm leaning towards the Olympus for the max cushioning.

The reported drop of running shoes is misleading because (1) Nike's and others use insoles that partly compensate for the drop, (2) sometimes they add a layer of rubber only at the front that may not be measured but reduces the drop, (3) the material that constitutes the sole is highly flexible in the heel and will compress when you put the foot down while running, bringing your foot to a near flat position. Walking however is much more sensible with a near zero drop shoe because you are not going to compress the heel as much.
