The
world's 1st Chris Sharma signature
model climbing shoe, PONTAS,
is coming soon!
Based on Chris' climbing expertise
and design ideas, we created
this shoe for him which he used
to send his project "Es
Pontas", his deep-water
solo project route in Mallorca,
Spain. It is a wildly overhanging
route that is 65 ft long and
includes a challenging, 7-foot
dyno that is 35 feet above the
sea and ends with a powerful
and technical finish.
This
all-around high performance
shoe fuses precision, power,
and responsiveness in an excellent
glove-like fit. The heel is
one of our best that fits securely
from base of the heel to the
achilles without discomfort
and deadspace. We equipped it
with an extended toe rand that
is functional for toe-hooking
without feeling excessive and
the tri-grooves relieves pressure
off the big toe. The 3/4 length
semi stiff midsole provides
the ideal balance of edging
power and responsiveness from
toe through the arch.
The PONTAS will inspire confidence
on technical climbs with micro-edges,
steep climbing and precise footwork
requiring moves as a outstanding
overall performance shoe.
|
"TRAX
rubber has the perfect blend of stickiness
and durability for extreme climbing
of all types. Whether I am on a granite
slab or on an overhanging limestone
sport route, I have total confidence
in every foot placement with TRAX rubber."
