most comfortable shoe i own, the rubber is sticky enough and i can get around the price, they stretched alot but really they only stretch to conform to your foot. they are pretty decent in cracks and i've floated up 10d finger crack in them no prob,

toe blowing on right foot after one month.... left foot delaminating.
ok fit, heel cut way back (1/4" of dead space), minimal stretch is good (typical of synth shoes).
rubber grips ok just poorly contructed?
dont drag my toes and i dont boulder that hard (v5-v6)

this book is ok, its missing a few rocks around castle rock and stuff. the drawings are really bad and some of the info is misleading and conflicts with other more localized guides of certain areas.
consider a different book

chalkbag part is only good thing, its a durable bag that doesnt rip. but the chalk inside it at first sucks. i went from white gold to what ever they use in the bag and all i can say is that the chalk made my hands from just sweaty, to sweaty and greasy, so i use more chalk and it fixed the problem until new sweat comes. the chalk doesnt work nearly as well as white gold so i baught 2 bricks of whitegold to refill with
