Absolutely a difference.

Geckos all the way here too.

Just get Ally Geckos

 

They are the best on the market for not much more than normal.

 

There is a huge difference. For me it was the difference between waking up in agony in the middle of the night after dismantling a big stem. I've just spent two days on the same fat chestnut stem in my geckos and I'm now dancing around the kitchen to Phil Collins.

its down to personal choice and finances, go basic and learn to climb, so you can understand how to use your gear well and you will know what you need to change to suite your climbing stile, equipment doesn't last long when your learning

1.Harness of choice

2.yale xtc+ 37m climbing rope

3.2x prussik loops
