As for function they are excellent. They are really good for edging and smearing. Not as good as a stiffer lace up, but top notch for a slipper. The small focused toe gets you into small pockets and cracks. If you are looking for a high performance slipper, I don't think you can go wrong here.

I was recently at a bouldering competition and had to write my name on mine. Of roughly 100 climbers, there had to be about 50 of these pads there. Tough to argue with that kind of support. I am sure the Mondo is nice, but for the money you will have a hard time beating this one.

Review by: dredsovrn, 2004-05-05
These will be easy for the leader and tough on the belayer. Not unmanageable, but be prepared for some snarls the first few times. My favorite lead ropes.
Get yourself an ATC-XP or DMM Buggette for a belay device to handle these skinny cords. You may want to double up on biners on rappell for better control.
