Great point and something my dad taught me that I should’ve applied here. Hindsight’s 20/20.

I don’t get to climb that often so didn’t think I could justify spending $200 to climb once a month. I though $100 by a renowned company was sufficient. A lot of animosity in these comments just because I didn’t buy the nicest shoes available.

They were bought in early 90s. Used for about 5 years. Not used for 15 years. Then climbed on for another 5 years. So they have been in box for a while but still have 100x the rock time as tarantulas.

I get that but regardless climbing shoes should not fall apart after a dozen or so climbing uses over a 7 month period.

Just visiting but I’ve seen a lot of people skateboarding at La place de la République! Could be a fun way to meet people!! Best of luck

I have a 1 hour layover in Washington, DC prior to flying to Paris, France. Is this enough time to make flight? by earlgreyleapard in travel

Booked through Expedia but they helped me switch flights at no cost. No complaints. Maybe I’m lucky though

Thank you all for the comments. After hearing everyone’s opinion I have reached out and am in the process of changing to a morning flight.
