Lol. I just left Post office from sending a set lol. Cost more than I thought to mail, but it will still help the climbing boot fund. I'll head back out
Tossed between the Hoffman Pole Climbers and the La Sportives. Plan on ordering today I guess it may come down to which if more comfortable I suppose, any preference @rico ? Font remember price difference. I like the look of the Sports
