EB Strange | Climbing Shoe Review

Coming in as the stiffest (and most eye-catching) model in the EB range, the Strange has been engineered to perform tremendously on real rock with a fast lace-up system that further enhances its suitability for a day at the crag. But, aren’t laces, as the name suggests, a strange choice? Although they might take longer to tie than the Velcro alternative, the lace-up closure on the Strange provides unrivalled adjustability that a Velcro system simply can’t match.

Seb Bouin: MOVE | Weekly Video

This week’s video is a throwback to 2018 as we watch Seb Bouin projecting Move – an Adam Ondra test piece in Flatanger, Norway. With the news having broken this week that Seb Bouin has climbed his long-term Verdon Gorge project, DNA, we’re taking a look back at the route that originally defined Seb’s world class ability and marked his remarkable progression on the journey to climbing 9c. Eventually being his first at the 9b/+ grade (sadly not seen in the film), Seb clearly used this experience on Move as a platform to elevate his climbing to new levels.

Foiled with Hazel Findlay | Weekly Video

This week’s video comes from the coastal climbing hotspot of Pembroke where Britain’s leading lady, Hazel Findlay, takes on Muy Caliente! – a route originally climbed by Tim Emmett at E10 6c with the consensus having settled at a scary E9 6c. Climbing the route in June 2021, Hazel has continued this incredible form by becoming the second British woman to climb 9a with her ascent of Esclatamasters in Spain earlier this year (footage here).
