Should you meet me at the crag - I'm pretty crap at face to face social interaction - what might seem like me being aloof is actually me trying to control moderate social anxiety - alcohol helps, but I don't take it to the crag

Cheers Weakdave, just nabbed some Stix. Had Boosters and Magos in the past, so hoping the Stix feel similar!

The stix are fantastic, very similar in shape to the boosters, just with thinner rubber, so you can feel/smear a bit better. They do wear out pretty quickly though.

I'd be very interested in a pair of Team, but the shipping costs to Italy are as much as the discount price...
I have many shoes at the moment so it's not a priority, so if by any chance anyone comes to Italy sooner or later I could buy them and get them shipped in UK, then we can meet somewhere in Italy.
I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, where'er I sail. The envious billows sidelong swell to whelm my track; let them; but first I pass.

A few bargains on welovemountains.com but the Anasazis VCS at 75 sheets were what caught my eye!

Pontas for 55 squids at cantbearsedtogooutdoors

I'm still mourning the lack of replacement for my current v-miles. Need something velcro that I can wear for most stuff, with a fairly stiff last and without pressure on the achillees.... Is such a thing just not made any more!?

Was considering Galileos, which I had before and loved, but they're not as stiff and are a bit aggressive in the heel (I could try to modify them).

Had considered the chili's. Again, not as stiff, but might be good otherwise. I haven't had a chance to play with the latest model which is supposed to be reasonably technical.

Hadn't considered Katanas... Will take a look
