Guillaume Glairon-Mondet has established “Le Pied à Coulisse” in Fontainebleau and proposed the grade of 8C+ or V16. This could be the first problem of its grade in the famous area and one of only an handful around the world. GuiGui wrote a great blog post describing the problem which you can read about here.
The Five Ten Team 5.10 is a very aggressive downturned climbing shoe that performs exceptionally well on steep rock. The shape of these shoes is their most defining feature, placing the foot in an ideal position for pulling in on footholds. Additionally, their mid range stiffness makes them very versatile, capable of both edging and smearing well. In fact, since trying them, the Team 5.10 has become my number one choice for performance on most sport climbs and boulder problems.
To guide our review, we have broken the shoe down into its specific components to give you a full summary of its features.
