Mad Rock Frenzy Climbing Shoe - Men's
July 25, 2009
You should get the smallest you can bear, not hurting, but your toes should be slightly curved, it does make a big difference. With other brands you usually need to get one size smaller than your street shoe size, Mad Rock already takes that into consideration, usually you'll need half a size bigger. Also try out different shoes, some may adjust to your feet better, shape matters. When I started climbing I got big sized pretty comfortable shoes, It felt great at first but after 2 or 3 months you'll notice you need a better grip, and more sensitivity, otherwise you'll have to stick to medium or large footholds. Your fingers shouldn't move at all inside, you'll probably have to take them off between your first climbs, but that's the way it's supposed to be. Remember these would give almost half a size, while unlined leather ones will give up to a full size after a while.

Black Diamond Contact Strap Crampon

I don't see why they shouldn't. I don't have those shoes but I have tried full strap crampons on softer hiking boots with no problems. Hope this helps...

I think you need at least a stiff heel for these to stay on. They will work better on stiff soles. Hope this helps...

Black Diamond Nylon Daisy Chain - 18mm
June 27, 2009
Dinex is newer than nylon, twice the price and you actually shave around 30 grams, i don't think you'll notice the difference unless you carry a lot of equipment. I use this as a personal anchor, just remember not to clip more than one loop! (http://www.bdel.com/videos/daisy.html)
