Rock Candy Set of the YEAR!!

Rock Candy Holds "Skimpies" are a must buy!!  The perfect trainer holds to get your fingers ready for anything you might encounter.  I have had many people ask whats a good way to train to get strong on crimmpers, and this hold set is your answer.  Buy a set or even two for your home wall or get your gym to buy some.  You will not regret it!!



Please do not hesitate to ask about any of the other holds as I have climbed on almost all of them.

Know your 5.10 shoe size!!!!!

Looking to make the switch to 5.10 or change to a new 5.10 shoe???  As we all know or will soon realize that knowing your correct shoe size for a climbing shoe is nearly impossible.  Luckily, I am here to help in that area.  I will give you a list of all the shoes along with their sizes that I have worn.  Hopefully you have worn at least one of the shoes mentioned and then can there for adjust appropriately to the correct size within the desired shoe.

Five Ten Teams = 12
Five Ten Dragon = 12
Five Ten Hornet = 12
Five Ten Quantum = 12
Five Ten Jet 7 = 11
Five Ten Blackwings =  I believe fit same as Jet 7


Five Ten Descent = 11 (going off memory will check when home)
All Five Ten Free Riders = 11
Five Ten Chase Series = 11 (going off memory will check when home)

Evolve Defy = 11
Evolve Pontas = 11

Las Sportiva Solutions = 42.5

Hope this helps!!!!

Bouldering at Evergreen, Colorado.



This past tuesday was an amazing 70 degrees,  and I just had to get outside!  I had my eyes set on Rock Cheetah v12+ along with the traverse project into it.  I came very close to sending Rock Cheetah but could not quite snag the opening crux move,  a big left hand gaston move to a sharp crimp.  By the time I had figured out some good beta my fingers were too sore from working the top moves as I had no spotters and was holding on tighter than usual to make sure I hit the small landing zone below me.  I was however able to snag the First Ascent of the traverse project and dubbed it "Death Wish" v10.  I am very excited to go back with fresh hands and hopefully some more pads and spotters next time to give Rock Cheetah a send go.
