Gloves not for Half Dome

Probably a great product but not for climbing Half Dome which requires 400ft of rope climbing at over 8000ft. I used it on 9/23/18 and my grip slipped off the cables. I decided to write this review because the great reviews and previous reviews convinced me to buy these gloves stating buyers had used them to climb Half Dome and had no problems. Unfortunately my experience was not like that. It was a terrifying moment when I realized I wasn't holding the cables hanging down from 8400 feet. I was lucky enough to have an extra pair of old gloves with me and had to change them during this climb. These gloves are definitely not for Half Dome, I'd happily return them for compensation but I have to leave them there in the granite boulders.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • May I add
