Home Climbing Area: Squamish, BC
Claim to Climbing Fame: It's rumored that I can stop moving trains with my heel hooks.
Favorite Climbing Shoe: TEAM 5.10 - Five Ten took everything that was great about the V10 and added a few improvements to make an awesome new shoe. It's aggressively downturned with super sticky Stealth rubber in all the right places. Whether I'm attempting to send my project or just going for a session in the gym, I always keep a pair of the TEAMs in my bag.
Favorite Everyday Shoe: For me, it's a toss-up between the Daescent and the Runaway. I usually choose the Daescents if I'm headed to the gym or to a crag with a short, rocky approach. They work great for scrambling. For longer days or just going to school, I rock the Runaways. They breathe well and provide all day comfort - plus they look good too.
