Gear Review: Scarpa Furia Climbing Shoe
As Scarpa continues to make a strong push in the North American market, they also continue to impress us with beautifully crafted shoes for climbers who love to get technical with their tools. The Scarpa Furia is a technical climbing shoe designed to maximize feel from plastic to rock. It features a sensitive 3mm rubber with no midsole and an aggressive downturned shape designed for overhanging terrain. We had an opportunity to review the shoe over the last four months and here is what we had to say.

Recent News ‘Jonathan Siegrist cleans up at Paradise Valley’
With the influx of professional climbers due to the Arc’teryx Climbing Academy, it is always fun to report what they have been up to during their stay despite some funny weather. In this fashion, Jonathan Siegrist has been cruising around town and made it to Paradise Valley when her on-sighted Queen Bee (5.13c), essentially flashed (after already climbing the first crux via Queen Bee) The B-side (5.13d), and made an ascent of Tom Wright’s Spirit of the West (5.14a) on his third try. Not sure how long he is sticking around but perhaps we could see him jump on Dreamcatcher before the end of his trip?
