We stopped by the American Alpine Institute to learn more about their Guides Choice Awards and took some video about why certain gear was award-winning. Generally speaking, the awards are given to gear that balances super durable and lightweight, while still holding on to essential features to get the job done right.
Watch Jeff Voigt show and tell why Petzl’s Attache 3D Carabiner won a Guides Choice Award.

Alison (she/her) runs WeighMyRack from her 17' travel trailer. She is currently touring the US and would love if you contacted her to meet up to talk about climbing, climbing gear, or if you have any fun and/or ridiculous adventure in mind.
Hi Alison,
I love your website. Its one one of the best looking sites, as well as a piece of magic that finds all of the best deals and the tech specs for every piece of climbing gear imaginable. As a relatively new climber, gearhead and someone that is just starting to learn web development, I would love to hear more about your site, and how to manage living in a mobile environment, and making a digital career work. These are my goals for the near future.
Cheers,
Jeff
Thanks for the comment Jeff! Those are all topics I’d love to talk about more and will try to work them into blog posts in the future. If you’re looking for information sooner, feel free to reach out with any direct questions. You can find my email and phone on our contact page (http://weighmyrack.com/contact).
Thanks again for writing in! I am always excited to hear what resonates, and where we can be more helpful.
