AI GeneratedThe speaker reflects on a recent climbing experience, discussing the technical challenges of a route they named \"The Salmon\" and providing a detailed review of the Scarpa Chimera climbing shoes, praising their precision and performance.
and so the salmon had runners on it so i wasn't going to hit the ground it actually felt quite
mellow i think i gave it e6 6c i think it's given e7 now i just remember moves come at you quite
fast today the moves on it actually came really quite fast so i've been up here last the the
crack has disappeared how strange yet suddenly there it is again yeah it was interesting to
climb in you know one of the the new generation of rock climbing boots you know i grew up in
donut green flashes and ebs which i've got a real affection for i like the smell of them like
getting into an old car but this guy mirror was like you know a little sports car from the modern
era and you know i enjoyed climbing in them i think it is has got a lot of very good qualities
i really like the the way the rubber kind of bites different forms and kind of sits on them
the rounding and the way it squeezes your boot and the toe edging at the front you know sort of
makes it a very precise boot i think the scarf of chimera is a is a very effective boot if it suits
the type of climber you're going to do the heel is good they edge really well and yet you can still
smear in them so as a sort of high performance compromise they seem you know pretty pretty
amazing really it didn't flow like i did before and that's why i called it the salmon because you
know you you do you you jolt and jounce from one move to the next and each jounce links to
to the next so the salmon sort of seemed quite a nice name for it but today i found
myself a little bit marooned in the end it went all right and i'm glad i did it
