Crawl Up That Water Spout
Just like the itsy spider, the La Sportiva Tarantula Climbing Shoe can crawl up damn near anything, but unlike bitsy spiders, it keeps climbing in the gym even when it’s rainy out. This is one of La Sportiva’s best options for beginners. It’s extremely comfortable and has the stiff support needed to keep your toes comfortable as you learn how to reach faraway holds in high places. A flat profile, low asymmetry, and a stretchy, adaptable leather upper all work together to keep you comfortable so you don’t have to take your climbing shoes off in between each climb.
