A real work horse that has a nice hand straight off the shelf. Getting a little bit fat now after four years of heavy work and the wild country belay plate complains from time to time, but I have another flash sitting in the cupboard waiting for me to retire the current rope.

Two thumbs way up. Climb technical ice like there is no tomorrow. I am very happy with this purchase. They are light, easy to adjust and once you get the hang of the sidelock they are quick and easy to get on and off. Great value.

On granite I like but I'm not a huge fan on sandstone. I've got some great use out of them but am still undecided as to how much I like them.

Have never had a better pair of rock shoes. Am on my third resole which I think is very impressive for a pair of slippers and they are still holding their shape and performance. Climb cracks, faces, steeps and long multipitch with little problems. The rubber on the third sole is getting very thin but I'm sure to buy another pair as soon as they hit the dust.

An amazing boot. Zero break-in time and a very good all round boot. Climbs rock and steep ice like a dream and easy on the feet on approaches due the extra bit of flex in the ankle which does not sacrifice their front pointing ability. The lacing system and adjustable tongue are nice touches to help fine tune the comfort and the performance of the boot and I have found the boot to be very warm even at -40c. Highly recommended.
