Jens Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Is it just me or is this stuff really slippery (It's just like the old boreal maestro rubber).- Definitely could be the difference between sucess and failure on smearing routes. Quote
John Frieh Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I have had good experience with it to date. It is slippery out of the gate but after a day of climbing seems to grab well. Quote
NYC007 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 ditto that. The First day out I actually grease off something...But they work fine now. I think Quote
Toast Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I climbed Dreamer in the rain in a pair of Montrail shoes. They worked alright for me. Also, the new Montrail shoes (the Method and Wasabi) use a new Montrail rubber, Gryptonite HT, that's as sticky as anything on the market. Quote
Jens Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Sure it may be good and may work in nicely, but I'll guarantee it's not as sticky as some of the other rubbers that are on the market. Quote
climbnsparky Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I have a pair with the new griptonite rubber in them and i havent been real imressed. they never seemed to be that sticky. Quote
Dru Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 The purple shoe sticks better than the green shoe even though they both have the same rubber. Quote
