Recent News ‘Kim McGenere sends Galactic Emperor (5.14a); First of the Grade’
We are pleased to announce that Kim McGenere (formerly House) sent Galactic Emperor (5.14a) in Ten Sleep, Wyoming yesterday, marking her first climb of the grade.
Galactic Emperor (5.14a) follows a beautiful blue and orange streaked ‘just-steeper-than-vertical wall’ with powerful moves between tiny holds in the Sector D’Or et Bleu. Kim had been working the rig for two weeks in between rain showers. According to Kim, she slept terribly and had a later than usual start to the day but managed to pull it together flashing Esplanada (5.12d) just before getting on Galactic Emperor (5.14a), making it one of her best climbing days ever. Congratulations Kim!

Scarpa Instinct VS and Scarpa Instinct Lace-up | Gear Review
It was not long ago that Scarpa had almost gone quiet on the North American climbing shoe front. It was the introduction of the Scarpa Instinct via international competition that pushed Scarpa back into the spotlight and helped Scarpa with, what now feels like, a domination of the North American shoe market. The Scarpa Instinct, from velco to lace-up, is a high performance downturned climbing shoe that can be used as an ‘everyday performance shoe’ for those seeking a great blend of power and sensitivity. Performing best on overhanging terrain, the Instinct VS also has the ability to handle slab and vertical climbing well, making it reliable in almost any situation Now with the introduction of the lace-up version, which provides stability and strength on vertical terrain, the Instinct line may simply be unstoppable.
