In reply to TobyA, Mick Ward, etc:
> Tom - good review
As a timid, sociable, consensus-loving individual I naturally also acknowledge that this must indeed be an excellent review. However .. could someone possibly map out the key points of said review for my better understanding? So far I have gleaned:
1. high-performance shoes are rubbish once they are worn out.
2. a competent climber can ascend low-grade routes like the Dervish in an old pair of EBs or similar .. so don't bother buying high-performance shoes.
3. Red Chili what-nots are nice and comfy (and thus, I infer, not a high-performance shoe .. though that doesn't matter .. see point 2 ...)
4. comfy shoes are good for long routes, especially ones the reviewer hasn't climbed.
Meanwhile I hear that ursine mammals defecate in boreal environments and that the Bishop of Rome is an adherent of the religion that repudiates Monophysitism yet asserts the actual physical nature of the Eucharist?
