Peter_Puget Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) If I remeber right the La Sportiva were the rage but then I had to try those new fangled EBs - they sucked. Edited November 7, 2008 by Peter_Puget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Is that the Mariacher? I bought a pair of those in Andermatt, Switzerland. I still have 'em in my basement somewhere. Good solid and comfortable shoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yep Mariacher. These came from Mtn Gear. Climb is "Weasles side 2", originally a 1985 trad route, still .11c but recently bolts were added at the crux sections. Nice shoe, beautifully made. I used them one some face climbs but the Fire' Cats or Ballets always fit me better. Funny stuff and a long time agao now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el jefe Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 had one pair of mariachers back then. too narrow in the toe for me, i preferred the way fires fit me better. shoes have certainly improved immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
