Best 21 inexpensive Sport Climbing for Ladies

Hello and welcome to another rock climbing light video i am your host gifs akron and today i get the pleasure of. Reviewing the misty mountain turbo harness this was sent to me my misti a couple months ago and I’ve been enjoying it a lot for the past month got to tell. You guys I’m really psyched about this harness not only is misty a great company they’re based out of western north carolina all their stuff is hand-stitched right here in the usa but it’s a great harness as well it’s not just the fact that they’re a great company make great products so this is. The turbo harness when i think of misty. I think of three words really stick out in my head they’re comfortable they’re. Over built and they’re safe misty is. Known to have one of the most comfortable harness lines on the market there Cadillac harness is probably most. Popular most people you see out the crag who have a misty harness on probably i. Mean in my experience I’d say eight times out of ten they’re going to have a Cadillac on, so they’re very Cadillac are very popular that’s their big thick trad harness it has six gear loops it’s. Just a big monster multi-pitch harness. But i see it here at the new I’m here at the new river gorge at the junkyard crag and i see them you know people using them for cracking all the time so that doesn’t mean that you can’t use the Cadillac for fragment but this might be a better option for you if you mostly do single pitch cracking and then sometimes do multi pitch this i think would be a great option and I’m really excited about again this is the turbo harness so I’m going to go through all the features of this harness but first. The so this has fixed leg loops this is. The turbo and the one with the adjustable leg loops is the sonic and. The female version of the sonic is the. Silhouette so the silhouette is female with adjustable leg loops misty doesn’t currently have a name for the female version of the turbo but just ask for it. Ask them for a female version of turbo, and they change some of the specs they change the dimensions of the waist belt and the rise to fit females better. So just ask them misty’s a great company they also do split sizing where they can. Do different size like this is i believe. A large you check yes this is a large. Size so if you needed like a large waist. Belt and a medium leg loop they can mix. And match sizes for you of waist and leg. Loops so just so you know so don’t think. When you go on their website oh you know. This leg size doesn’t fit my legs but this waist size fit they do what’s called split sizing, and they can mix and match those sizes because these are handmade one at a time so let’s go. Through the major points of this harness this has a quick adjust waist belt so. You don’t need to double this one back so you just pull it and it stays secure. It’s very safe like i said safe and durable and over built and what. I like you know no detail is overlooked. With this misty harness and I’m sure the same goes for all their harnesses I’m sure the line is all the same so you’ll notice the end of this waste this. Waist belt is stitched into a point and you know little details like that i really enjoy because that makes it. Easier to thread through these sleeves to keep the waist belt back so there’s a sleeve right on the side right next to. The buckle when you tighten it in so. You can slide that through there easily and then the misty patch also doubles as. Another large sleeve to keep it even further out of the way so you just slide that in there. It’s out of the way. What else so all the time points are. Heavily reinforced you can see lots of. Bar tack and stitching here but what also is nice about the time points is they cover it in a slippery material. It’s kind of it’s a nylon that is different from the rest of the nylon. It’s very slippery, so they’ll add durability because the reduce friction of the rope running through so your tie. In points won’t get blown out as easily the belay loop they’re known to have one of the largest belay loops in the business this thing is no exception the turbo harness this is a 6,000 pound belay loop so super beefy and durable. And over built very safe so that’s you. Know your belay loop in the front turning towards the sides there’s four. Gear loops to an aside but again being. Misty who they are if you want to add tool carriers like if you’re an ice climber if you want to add tool holsters. Or extra I’m sure maybe not gear luke. But it was a belay loop we doing extra belay loop things like that they can work with you so call them up great company anyway moving to the side for. Big gear loops these things i have a couple other harnesses just I’ve gone through over the years and these things are large let me tell you no problem putting a ton of cams and nuts and quick draws and slings and things for trad climbing so these are very large on the back what you’ll find is. Somewhat rare but is very nice to have. Is a full strength haul loop on a. Cracking harness so this is a very lightweight it definitely competes with all the lightweight all day multi-purpose harnesses out there and not on have full strength haul loop so that’s a very nice feature also on. The back is the rise they have a feature called detachable rise this is pretty common so you know nature calls and you. Don’t want to take the harness off if you’re in a multi pitch situation they have the detachable rise there with the buckle. The inside of the waist belt and the leg. Loops it’s like this soft black neoprene. Material but it’s very breathable so neoprene isn’t breathable so but it. Feels like me brain has like kind of soft spongy feel but it’s very. Breathable i mean its kind of warm out today is low 80s high 70s and i don’t i. Don’t feel hindered or sweaty or you know wet with this harness at all it definitely breezes for you know an all-day harness it’s you know it’s not like a mesh style harness you know you. Can’t see through it so it definitely has a little bit of thickness but that makes it extra comfortable at the same time it breathes. Like i said it has fixed leg loops. Again reinforced high end point extra. Stitching to make it all very durable leg loops are very comfortable I’ve been. Very impressed a lot of times leg loops there they it kind of seems like. Companies they just don’t do research, or they don’t test it or something but these leg loops have been surprised it really comfortable so I’ve just been. Overall really happy with the turbo. Harness again give misty a call if. You’re looking for new harness they can work with you on sizing they can work with you on options this one comes in. Red but hey i bet you we call them they might even be able to offer a different color who knows so what else overall. This is just a really great harness i got a site and with that there’s been another rock climber light video be sure to check out the blog rock climber life com for more thanks for watching. You.

So yeah this is mad rocks flagship shoe it’s called the redline a lot of really innovative features have the clutch heel. Which works kind of like a chinstrap that gives you the adjust ability and the control of putting it to where you need it also a pretty aggressive downturn. Shoe pretty interesting downturn shoe it’s not downturn throughout the whole shoe it’s just downturn throughout the toe box that allows the heel to work by itself and not affect the heel and the fit of the heel also we’re still using the proven arch flex a design that just. Worked really well for us in the past shoes with different tensioning specific to this shoe this is not a specifically outdoor shoe but it’s its driven and. Built for outdoor climbing it does climb very well indoors as well but. You’re gonna see its true potential outside on all different terrain slab. Overhanging pockets crimps and micro. Diamond for sure a lot of power in the shoe also introduced a compression tongue so the tongue is designed with elastic to squeeze the top of your foot down this shoe actually works really well as a slipper unlaced but also you’re getting that added control and fit and feel with that lace i really wanted to give matt rock a chance to put. Ourselves out there and show this industry what we can produce and then. Also within the shoe i really wanted to make a complete shoe i really felt like you know with climbing shoes and how there had been made for the last 20 years we really get a good fit in the toe box area but the struggling area has always been the heel so my goal was to make a complete shoe from heel to toe and then also stylizing it really making. It really loud really different than anything else that’s been out there a lot of design cues from race cars some people have come in and say wow that looks like a Jordan a michael Jordan shoe and that’s where I’ve got a lot of the influence from you know I’ve always respected michael Jordan shoes waited in. Line to get the shoes and you know i put a little bit of that into rock climbing you know it does have an aggressive look and an aggressive profile to it but it’s an extremely comfortable shoe and it doesn’t come at. The expense of performance so yeah we. Are continuing to make pretty comfortable shoes but that still perform the way you need them perform a lot has to do with the lining this is a line high-end shoe a lot of the higher-end shoes are not lined they’re just let you know put your foot in it let it conform a lot of the idea behind this shoe is to have the fit be consistent. From when it comes out of the box to a month or two down the line and. Especially when you’re actually using the shoe to maintain the power and put everything where it needs to be we did use 4.1 millimeters sole rubber here rx5. Formula our competitors don’t necessarily use that thick of rubber but i think it adapts to the style of each climber so if you are a bit of a beginner climber and you’re getting into experiencing the high performance end of the shoe line you’re not gonna get screwed by you know having the shoe blowout on you that fast or having a rubber wear out on you within reason i mean it is a it is a tool that we’re using, and they do wear down like a kitchen knife we knew exactly what we wanted, and we work a compromise, so we. Were just right after it’s pretty awesome we’re really proud of it’s like it generated a lot of buzzes a lot of. People that would normally never step foot in a and a mad rock booth came down to check the shoe out this is a performer this i think is gonna do really well for us if you are gonna be seeing a lot of cool things coming from this company for sure and with a whole. New styling and a whole new attitude, and we’re hoping to turn some heads.

I am been brands me I’m here with the evolve spark this is actually my shoe I’ve had it for a couple of months now been tried climbing it having a great time because

Hey guys this is a quick unboxing of black diamond it came in this box down here below it took seven days although the website said it would take three so these not packaging articles in with this size small so small i would. Recommend first really skate also below. 130 pounds of maximum 130 pounds and. Maybe for kids okay so it’s my small. Wood right there hit and for 170. A Thousand of five and would definitely go for the large one but it does depend on. Your size after all i did get a medium. One it does fit me I’m around 170 so. Here it is here’s its just thought once. You take it out know you can always put. It back in because if people get this with it okay you get the instructions. Here. It’s a promise by the artists now your. Kaunas comes just like this is the black. Diamond one okay blog on the obstructions that comes. Attached now like i said medium would. Fit me I’m under seventy buts if it’s. Just like almost a too tight so i would. Definitely go for a large one or even extra-large so if you’re worried what’s your clothing you can put these on while. You’re waiting a jacket or something like that you will not be able to fit this if it’s just the right size so you need a little bit bigger and that’s how i reckon i kidding just don’t know bit bigger one sword does depend on your. Size but I’m guessing around 110 pounds don’t want your larger extra-mile the. Padding on it’s okay. If you’re gonna be shipped now you can. Return them to the store so you can go. Up the store and just return them or exchange them for another size if you didn’t if you weren’t convinced a god. Which is something that we will do so we. Have to need for a couple of other sizes as well snow mobile to store we order them all. In just to see how long they take and then, but we hope this north we get close to us. Anyways that’s it for this video guys if you guys have any questions comments about the harness just ask here below. And don’t forget to subscribe and rate thank you.

Now this is where a black diamond. Climbing shoe box and then we thought of. See this day but black diamond has gone. Into the climbing shoe business and they. Just launched this back in june now i. Was supposed to do a full on full review. In a month for the new momentum shoe that’s the one i bought and wanted to test out and give you my opinion about. It but i thought I’ll just do a quick update on this after i climbed this. Climb with this for a couple of times and these are my initial impressions so. Check it out so this is a new momentum. Shoe men’s at least the ladies comes in. Red and gray and the guys come in blue. And gray it’s a nice little stealthy. Shoe that looks like your gym rental yes it is a basic beginner intermediate shoe. Totally rockin now black diamond talks a. Lot about their new weaving aisle here. You look closely is very similar to your. Athletic shoes it’s breathable and odor. Free when he needs to and it’s nice and. Structural on your heels and on your toe. Box and it stretches when he needs to. Now I’ve climbed with this a couple of times as i said and i feel like it’s a. Little bit tighter than some like my own shoe which was synthetic leather and i. Can remember this after climbing one or. Two sessions it started to loosen up this one my toes do hurts and I’ll give you further impressions as. Time goes by but initial impressions. This is less stretchy than your synthetic leather or leather shoes. Obviously now that said this the. Firmness that it comes with it gives it a little bit more control and edging is. Awesome sensitivity is not that great because the soul is flat and thick but. What it does is really well as edging it gives it a pretty good stiffness right here and I’ve been able to step on. Really small holes that i couldn’t with this small holes on this thing it was. Like a big hole so it’s really great now. What any time will tell what the velcro is gonna do whether it was fitting to the ends or things like that as velcro straps tend to do but it seems. Like it’s built on two separate levels there’s the velcro and stitching right. Underneath a inset of a leather tab so i. Think longevity might be good here the. Other part is that they always they talked about with this knitting is odor. Free or less odor and it will sit we’ll. Find out about that now the rubber comes in three different. Kinds that black diamond creates now and. It is this one is the neo friction and i. Hope it holds up well it seems to be on. Par if not better than a lot of. Equivalent brands out there so black. Diamond great go that’s my initial. Impression of this shoe I’m gonna keep climbing it in for a few more weeks but I’ll update you guys every week and anything i find and do a wrap up at the. And it’s so thank you for watching remember to thumb up if you like this video don’t. Dump down okay this thumbs up and. Subscribe to this to keep up to date on get kept up to date on gear up reviews. Thanks for watching.

Hi I’m lynn the technical shoe designer here at black diamond and remember last. Year when we introduced the shoe line we had four new models as the initial. Launch of the shoe program and this year we’re going to add one model to that range and if you can remember we started. Off with this nice flat all knit shoe. For comfort breath ability and price and. Then what we did was we came up with a. Leather version stiffer and more durable. For more outside long route type of. Climbing the full strength full length. Midsole is stiffer so that will support your feet for longer days climbing and. Then we had a soft high-performance. Mostly indoor are very steep rock climbing shoe called the shadow that allows us to grab and pull with our feet. And then the focus very soon here will. Be on the market is the stiffer version that allows us to have a lot more. Support on smaller holds for the type of climbing where we have more weight on our feet compared to the type of climbing where we’re climbing on deeper overhanging rock with a shadow place so. This is the softest shoe in our line and this is the stiffest shoe currently in. Our line the new shoe the zone will fall. Right in the middle and the zone will. Have all the feature benefits of a. Knitted upper in terms of breath ability in terms of quick drying in terms of. Keeping your feet from not sweating too. Much and also comfort but instead of now. Having a flat profile like we did in the. Momentum we’re gonna know curl our toes and get it in a much more powerful position in the same position actually the same last and the same shape as our shadow the zone will come in four colors. And two volumes a regular volume and then a low volume. And when we mean by low volume is across. The ball of the foot it’s narrower and it’s lower volume behind the toes all. The way up to the instep strap lower. Volume in the heel and also low volume in the heel cup, and we want to make sure. That we point out that it’s actually a volume difference and not a male-female because we have men who have skinny. Narrower lower volume feet as well and so as you look at the entire color range. The colors are more gender neutral so. That a woman that has a wide foot is. Fine in these colors and then a man with a narrow foot will be finding these colors as well okay so again a cambered shape two straps and. You notice the rear strap here this time is nice and wide so it contains our. Instep better for heel hooking and for. General edging it also has a full length mid sole that’s stiff to help support our. Feet on smaller holds so that’s the zone coming in spring nineteen retailing for 130 euros. You.

Heisman from black diamond and remember. We launched this line of rock shoes last summer the knit really resonated well. With the public and what we heard was. That they wanted a shoe like this that was built on a more cambered lash to. Give us a better performance really so. That’s what the new zone shoe is knit. Upper two straps the instep strap is. Nice and wide to give us better containment here we have rubber print. For toe hooking protection, and we have a shaped mid sole the new zone will be. Available January 1st 2019 the retail. Price in the us is 139 with this shoe. What you’re gonna get is a high performance all knit the softest shoe in. Our line in terms of high performance q is the shadow have no mid sole and the. Stiffness will be the focus this has a mid sole it has a nice built up upper so. Gives you better control on small edges and then in the middle we have the focus. So the best all-around sport climbing shoe that we have is this you call the focus I’m sorry this new shoe called the zone we have a regular volume. And then we have a low volume I’m willing about low volume is that it’ll be narrower the bottom of this foot here. And low from the back of the toes all. The way to the instep okay and then. Lower heel volume here and. Lower heel arch volume here the reason. Why we won’t call it a man’s and a. Women’s is because advanced climbers are more into the idea of a fit then they. Are specifically men’s or women and if. You look at all the colors that we offer the shoes in their gender neutral so you. Can have a wide high volume footed woman. And she’d be okay with these colors and conversely we can have a narrow man. Who would be okay with these colors all. The things we wanted in it we learned. That the public wanted the same exact thing the breath ability the nice next to. Skin the quick drying it breathes so. Well that your feet just don’t sweat as much and so end of a bouldering session you’re not swimming around inside your of your shoes because of their. Acceptance of the momentum it’s why we came up with this shoe if you bought a momentum shoe and you really liked it. But you wanted more performance because now your climbing better you want to graduate up to the zone we do line the knit so that we get a little bit better. Control and edge strength just the knit. Alone as a layer is way more breathable. Then leather or microfiber and a lot of. Leathers and microfiber also get a liner for the exact same reason so it’s not. Super different other than the fact that. If you compare apples to apples the knit. Itself is more breathable cooler faster. Drying than the synthetics of any others if you compare lengths these two are the. Same size foot one allows your toes to. Stay flat one allows you to curl your toes and the difference in the two is if. You want power you want to clinch your fist okay and. This is more like clenching your fist to. Getting power into your shoes or your. Foot or this is more of a comfort this. Heel shape is a better fitting heel. Shape than this one and the reason is. That this is a high-performance shoe so. We needed to fit better in this area it. Looks the same but there’s been a lot more work into thinning out the rubber. And the stretching it so that it forms to that shape a lot better super higher performance shoes you actually have an. Extra piece, so we can put more tension in different areas to get us the optimal. Fit now we had to do a lot more work with this to get us a fit but it’s not. Going to be optimized compared to listen. To focus that’s why this is we consider this a. Price point high-performance shoe so the. Perforations of the bottom serve two purposes the first one is it echoes the. Perforations we have in the strap and. This lightens up the strata as a visual cue they tie in to one another and the other thing that’s really important is it allows this area of the outsole to be. More elastic so that we can actually put. Tension here so now as you step down on the toes here you’re gonna feel tension. All the way to the back of the heel and. It contains our foot gives us more power. In the tails
