My favorite problem was men's third. Also I liked women problems quite a lot. Nalle's problem was sick and really designed for himself, he made it look so easy. | ||

You need a solid fit so your shoes dont slip on heel hooks and such, but there's no reason to torture yourself. That being said, if you're not used to wearing climbing shoes, they will feel slightly uncomfortable, especially if you have wide feet. I need to shop for a new pair myself, tips being worn out and...the smell >_< | ||

It depends on what kind of shoe you're resoling. If it's something like a 5.10 Team or other shoe with a really thin, sensitive sole, you might be better off buying a new pair. Most resolers apply thicker rubbers - 4mm or 5mm - and you'll notice a difference, especially if you're going from a 2.5 or 3mm to a 5mm rubber. If you want to resole something stiffer, a TC Pro or Stoneland or something, then it shouldn't be a big deal. And that's not to say resoling a sensitive shoe is always bad; a friend of mine resoled his black Teams, then bought another pair because the old ones "feel like Solutions." Given that I love Solutions that doesn't sound so bad to me. | ||

The one thing that may improve is the speed at which they climb, just so they can get out of their shoes as soon as possible. lol thanks for that link! great insights  | ||

You can check some pictures from there. http://www.hankki.fi/albumi.html The color and lightning was little bit of poor taste, but also they had some really good slabs and lots of variety. The place looked much older than it really was (Opened this january I think) It's slightly cheaper and at the same distance than the other place so I plan to go again for sure. | ||
