Cypher Zero Climbing Shoe
It's always a treat to open up my mailbox and see the latest issue of Rock and Ice magazine sitting there, begging me to procrastinate everything important so that I can look through its pages.

Keeping Things Light With The Cypher Mydas
Cheyne Lempe, notorious for always being on a big wall, shares his thoughts about the Cypher Mydas carabiner.
"For some, a climbing-equipment-weight-reduction obsession may seem slightly ridiculous on single-pitch climbs or shorter length routes. However, I have learned from climbing first ascents in Patagonia and solo big-wall pushes in Yosemite that the energy spent carrying excess weight for an extended amount of time is significant. The weight that I save while using the Cypher Mydas wire gate carabiner allows me to push myself higher, harder, and faster.
The two main factors that I use when deciding which carabiners to use are weight and clip-a-bility. Weighing in at 24 grams with a strength rating of 23kn, the Mydas is one of the lightest carabiners on the market. The spring tension of the gate is easy to clip, yet is stiff enough to prevent an accidental opening of the gate. The overall size is just big enough so that you won't fumble with gloves on."

The Cypher Code Breaker
The following trip report is by Benjamin Eaton, Liberty Mountain’s Communications Specialist.
"Indy and Fisher Eaton, your mission, shall you accept it, is to scale an insurmountable amount of cliffs and boulders. We have issued you a pair of Cypher Code Breaker climbing shoes to make your mission successful. Wear them with pride. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds..."
With excited smiles my two little boys received a pair of Cypher Code Breaker climbing shoes for beta testing. They couldn't wait to try them out. We first took them to an indoor climbing wall where they were able to get familiar with them and break them in. Then we headed out on a four-day trip to Red Rocks, Nevada to exploit the shoe’s performance on varnished sandstone.
