Josh's Honest Review of the G7 Portaledge

[@BetaClimbers]

Really appreciate all the support everyone helps me buy things like this to give honest reviews for you. If you have anything else you want me to explore let me know. 🤙🏻 I think this ledge is cool but maybe the price is just set at “cool kids only” right now and maybe it it come down. If it was near 100-200 bucks it would be a no brainer for me and I’d be a lot less worried. 😅

Yeah that price is bananas 😳 I want one but, dam!!

[@bigmutant69]

As someone without a portaledge, I would have liked to seen maybe a side by side between the G7 and a traditional portaledge both packed up and set up, how belaying from the ledge feels comparing the two, and doing stuff like side by side gear swaps. I don't think I'm getting a portaledge anytime soon, but they all cost around the same

If it gets a puncture just put some seam sealant on the hole! Once I discovered seam sealant, inflatable things went from looking fragile, to looking easily repairable! With that in the toolbelt, the only thing you're really worried about durability wise is the material getting worn and weakend over a large area (like when the seat of your trousers get so worn if you try and repair a hole a new one will just open up next to it), or some kind of delamination issue (my exped megamat ended up with a massive blister under the material which was impossible to repair)..

the sped up pumping sounds like a little squirrel helps you count the puffs :) thanks for the review!!

[@richrich685]

Couldn’t you extend the outside edge with a second locker like people do with their haul bag?

[@HowNOT2]

Yes

[@Kappas_1234]

High Mountain Gear “Taco” is similar and only $250

[@nomnooom]

Blowing air into the bag is just to puff it up so it's bigger and contains more air due to the shape. Nothing fancy going on!

[@DJ-kg6zq]

My biggest concern is the rain fly getting shredded against the wall in a real storm. They need to fix that before I spend $1,000… 🙄. Fix it!! I want one! Lol

[@andrewhunter6536]

It must be adjustable. If not that’s terrible Edit: I just watched there video and it is adjustable. I guess the rings say 0kn so people don’t do silly things like belay from those little rings or clip there personal anchor to it. Also shows people standing and jumping on it

[@BetaClimbers]

Right. Could always add another locker.

[@Johnny_Cash_Flow]

I came here looking for a dishonest review. I was disappointed.

[@callummckinnon2256]

Convinced me on the hammock

[@setadoon]

For 800 bucks that thing is a HARD pass.. Seems like it is only for a few specific times/places/climbers. Too niche

[@TheClanAdventures]

wouldn't want to be setting that up in strong winds

[@geraldmartsy2165]

Did you pick up those La Sportiva Finales on clearance from REI outlet?

[@BetaClimbers]

Yes lol 😂

[@geraldmartsy2165]

@@BetaClimbers Same, dude.

[@BetaClimbers]

@@geraldmartsy2165 lol great deals!

[@Powerbandm]

I would personally deal with extra weight if it means longevity! Great idea but they need to reduce the price to make it worth while!

[@YannCamusBlissClimbing]

5:05 is the Salathe Roof right???

[@BetaClimbers]

💯 😂

[@mohawksniper79]

Its no different then the old style air mattress with a couple lugs sewn on and some straps. 700$ is a bit much $300 is a bit much.

[@Climbingdude]

I don’t know if I would trust a $700+ air mattress. That’s just me though

[@geggiwolf6897]

Saugeil aber irre teuer😮😮😮😮

[@gregrossell2719]

Lame review

[@BetaClimbers]

What did you expect me try to pop it. 🤣

[@gregrossell5282]

It looks like he didn’t even read the manufacturers instructions before doing the review.

[@BetaClimbers]

@@gregrossell5282 yeah guess it was a real honest review. 🤣

[@DJ-kg6zq]

@@BetaClimbers lol it was funny how you didn’t even get it level. I was like “clip the next loop”!! 😂
