slothrop Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Normally I don't shill for The Man, but the North Face store downtown has some cheeeeep plastic boots right now. Push through the softgoods jungle (what the hell does "A5" have to do with yuppie leisurewear?) to the back, where you will find Koflach Arctis Expe, Degree, Vertical, and Viva Soft boots for about $150. They didn't have my size. Also: Mythos and a few other La Sportiva rock shoes for $90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 REI in Federal Way is selling their stock of Koflach rental boots for $40 now. Quite a lot as of yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryland_moore Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 You aren't serious are you? If so, A5 makes Big Wall gear and was bought out by TNF a few years back...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 Doesn't look like they make much big wall gear anymore, unless aid climbing now requires that you wear logo-infested shorts and linen-cotton blend shirts in fashionable faded plaids.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Those shorts are pretty pimp, though, regardless of what logo's on 'em. Nice pants, too, but someone needs to tell all those clothing designers that cargo pockets aren't worth shit and don't look much better.
