Solid tool for cold ice climbing

Stoic Welder Gauntlet Glove

Stoic Welder Gauntlet Glove

Rating for this product: 4 February 28, 2011

I climb waterfall ice in the Catskills, and these gloves were great when the temps were in the teens. The wool insert takes some breaking in, but inspire confidence and chase away the barfies. They are not the most dextrous gloves, but belay well and when the weather is cold, they can do it all. I'm glad I got them, the red color is way bright though!

Smedge the big edge

The North Face Smedge Approach Shoe - Men's

The North Face Smedge Approach Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 October 14, 2009

I've got a lot of use out these durable and comfortable approach shoes. They look smart and have good rubber, and they're definitely all day shoes. Now - I guess 'smedge' is a combination of smear and edge, and I would say they have no feel through the thick soles for smearing and with their fat rubber soles not at all incut under the base of your foot - they really edge poorly. I climb a lot at the Gunks and these will help you hit the 5.5s, but a tricky 5.7 might just hose you down! All in all though, they've definitely got their place and unlike my other approach shoes, they are built to last.

Montrail CTC Mid GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's

Rugged and light, rubber's sticky and durable. Good for edging and overall great support, only thing is I have slightly wider feet and these are built pretty narrow. But great product.

Wife loved 'em

Patagonia Footwear Finn Approach Shoe - Women's

Patagonia Footwear Finn Approach Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 6, 2008

And she's pretty finicky. Looks to be a tough sole, I bought them a bit tight as a shoe I hoped would be a good for scrambling - she had questions but broke them in for a day or two because they were so cute. Now she loves them and they're holding up real well.
