Scarpa Crux | Approach Shoe Review

So far I’ve been impressed – these things are the business! They fulfill pretty much all of the criteria I look for in an approach shoe. Firstly they’re light enough not to be too much of a burden when carrying them up a route (830g for a pair of size 44s).

Now I’m sure it won’t be a great surprise to anybody that the Bandit SC feels very similar to the lace up out of the box. The toe box is again quite narrow and pointed, although as Greg found any initial pinching soon disappeared as the fabric stretched out very slightly within a couple of sessions.

Evolv Bandit Lace | Climbing Shoe Review

The Evolv Bandit Lace is a great all-round lace up climbing shoe, ideally suited to those with narrower feet, who like flat profiled shoes which break-in quickly and/or want a single shoe to cover a number of disciplines, oh and of course vegans.

Having been a long time devotee of the Five Ten brand, and more appropriately the products, I always look forward to road testing their latest offering. This enthusiasm is always heightened when the new product is a cutting edge performance offering.

Geckosport Boulderbrush | Brush Review

Brushing holds is a pretty vital part of bouldering, but often the holds that need the most attention from the bristles are those that are out of reach.

FRCC Eastern Crags | Guidebook Review

Here at last! The new Eastern Crags guide is now available nearly 90 years after the FRCC produced their very first guidebook to Dow Crag in 1922. No longer are the proud crags of the Eastern Fells piggy-backed on to what some might see as the inferior area of Buttermere.
