Belay glasses make sense in a parking lot. EyeSend makes sense forty feet up an overhang, with your partner hanging on the crux for the third time. So don't take our word for it. Borrow a pair Saturday morning for free, belay all day at the Red, and bring them back when you're off the rock. Or keep them for 20 percent off retail.
