For some reason I was thinking about all the pairs of climbing shoes I've had today, so in nearly 30 years of climbing I can remember 32 pairs of shoes.
Scarpa rock masters, boreal aces ( original ones) , lasers (2 pairs) , ninjas, stingers, those black and purple velcro hobbies that boreal made about 25 years ago, katanas, mythos, dolomite slippers ( anyone remember those?) Old pinks at least 2 pairs, old anazazi velcros 2 pairs, quantum's ( old purple ones) teams, blue and black, projects, new pinks, red chili habanero , 2 pairs, dos equis 2 pairs, voodoo, x cubes, Scarpa paranoia 2 pairs, instinct Vs, la sportiva solutions, miura laces, miura velcro.
I probably only have about 6 pairs in total now, I did try and keep them until my better half decided the spare room wasn't supposed to smell of damp parmesan and one day they all disappeared!
Anyone else as sad as me or nothing better to do??
So how long you been at it, how many you had and how many you got left?
