In reply to Andy Farnell:
I am a little amused
, At that time (early / middle 90's) W.Güllich climbed Action Directe in Boreal, Ben Moon and Jerry Moffat also climbed in Boreals (for example Superman, The Thing, etc..) Phillipe LeDenmat climbs the hardest slabs and walls in Fontainebleau with the old Ninja (with S2 Fusion and later), Jacky Godoffe today is wearing Boreal and so on
- so what?
I agree with john arran most people see the other climbers are wearing Sportiva or Five Ten, or some Scarpa - also it's a challenge to get Boreal shoes, that was their pitty because of their not existing retail system at that time.
Best regards from Germany, and a happy new year
