The only peeling I’ve ever had is on the side of the resole (towards the back so no issue for climbing)

On his website Torquil does say I you have issues in the first x amount of time you should get in touch.

It's also worth noting that when Scarpa stick the sole on, they use a massive pneumatic press (not to mention the riduculous glue - they've got about 7 seconds after heating to get it stuck in the right place, and put into the press - plus the massive heater which heats the glue up to the exact correct temperature) which the entire shoe goes in to. I've not seen his workshop, but I doubt Torquil (or any other resoler for that matter) would be able to use the same setup, because without the correct last inside, the shoe itself would get deformed and come back unwearable.
