Tenaya Mundaka

The Tenaya Mundaka offers an excellent blend of performance and comfort, and I think it excels as a steeper bouldering and competition shoe. It is a great option for intermediate to advanced level climbers who use and depend on precise edging and footwork through overhung sections. Like all shoes, the Mundaka doesn’t perform well in every area, and if longer duration vertical edging (e.g., a place like Smith Rock) or aggressive heel hooks are your priority, you may want to look at different options like the La Sportiva Otaki, Scarpa Booster S, or Evolv Shaman. But if you prioritize sensitivity, precise edging on overhung sections, toe hooking performance, and are looking for something with a bit of a wider fit than most other high-performance shoes, the Mundaka is definitely worth checking out.
