But I was saying folk are trying the wrong boots if their feet are hurting. I have never had problems with boots I climb in. They keep getting better and better. Boots I currently have in rotation.
Because I like boots that actually protect my feet. Plus those boots would get shredded in the rough bark trees I climb. I wear scarpa approach boots mainly and I get a year max with them.
I started climbing at 40. I am now 57. Have climbed trees for money in Canada, US and the UK. Have done a good few comps, even judged in a few. Have climbed with some of the best climbers from all over. I wanted it, I saturated in it, I have the passion, I think about it a lot. I am not slowing...
OK here is my take on it. All the ropes we climb on are fairly static bar none..tend slack properly and make sure you always have taught lines. This is not rock climbing on dynamic ropes. I really do hate bouncy ropes. I have not climbed MRS since 2012. Unless off a crane..that is not climbing...
