Evolv - coming on board with sponsored goodies!!!

I am really stoked to announce finally that my good friends at Evolv have come on board to sponsor me this year with their awesome line of climbing and approach shoes!




I have been using Evolv shoes almost exclusively for a while now and I am a massive fan so this new partnership is super exciting.

Let me show you what I have been using lately...

For climbing...

Optimus Prime - A really versatile shoe that I have loved using on everything from slabs to steep






Pontas - Just ordered these ones, awesome edging shoe with a sharp toe for tiny pockets and edges

Talon G2 - These are my project babies... the best steep climbing shoe I have ever owned, absolutely love these things! Just don't try and climb anything vertical or slabby in them, they were made for the really steep stuff...

For walking around...



Escapist - another shoe that I have just ordered, a sweet approach shoe that is light and tough. Im psyched to use these for running too

Buck - I pretty much lived in these things over the last summer. THE sticky rubber flip flop, I went to the crag in them, hung out on boats in them, climbed 5.10 in them, you name it... love them!

So as you can see, I'm psyched on the Evolv range of shoes, they have something for everything I do so they have all my bases covered. Super excited to be working with the team from Evolv this year :)

Right now I am in Beijing for another 3 days. Tomorrow Jen and I are off to see the Forbidden City and Sunday we are going to go see the Great Wall which I have still never seen so I am really excited about that! Then on the 17th I am off to northern Sichuan for a few days for the Jiuzhaigou Ice Waterfall Festival, an eco tourism conference in an amazing and wildly beautiful part of China. Really looking forward to it!

Then on the 21st it's back to Yangshuo and back to work on my project out at Fuli... I have been training like crazy lately getting stronger and fitter with this project in mind... can't wait!

While here in Beijing I have been training at the O'le Climbing Gym which is run by some good friends of mine, here are a few pic's of their sweet bouldering room that I have been putting to good use... time to go train! :-)
