the trangos will be the best rock climbers, except for possibly the merrels which I have not seen. make sure your toe boxes are narrow enough for the sportivas or you will be in a world of hurt. i have a pair of trangos and a pair of nepal tops and love both although rock climbing in the latter is challenging.
I can't say that I ever liked Basecamp, but it is a shame that we are now a one horse town, besides AAI, which is obviously not a primarily retail business.
