Unparallel Up Lace: A new company presents a new take on a familiar shoe
The Up Lace performed, and felt almost exactly like the Anasazi Lace. I've got about 20 days on them so far, and an estimated 100 pitches on four different rock types. They've climbed cracks, face, overhangs and slabs. They've performed precisely as I hoped they would. The rubber feels exactly like C4, allowing me to stand on tiny edges and stick to tenuous smears with confidence and comfort. The fit is glove-like, distributing my weight and power evenly over the entire perimeter of the edge of the sole. In every way that matters, it feels like I'm climbing in my old Pinks again.
