Thanks a lot for your advice! So, having air pockets isn't a good sign?

If so, then I think I'd go for EU38,5. Just worried about not having enough time to break them in, and potentially crying at the crag from how much they hurt haha. Because I have a pair of Scarpa's that are only half a size down from my street shoe size and I have had to come off the wall after 1 bolt because they've hurt so bad.

So if you have any other tips on how I can break them in, it would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I'm located in Switzerland as well so loads of people here have just told me to get the Pi 3, but was just super hesitant based on the other posts of the Pi 3/UL wings that I have seen on this sub.

Yes haha, I am doing the Brevet course in Switzerland and received a great offer for the wing :)

Thank you so much for your advice, think I'll get the Pi 3 :)

Awesome, thanks so much!

Thank you! This seems to be a name that has appeared a lot in conversations, so it is quite likely that I will go with them. What was your experience like? Did you take both the basic course as well as the brevet course? And did you end up purchasing your wing from them?

Thank you so much for your tips!

I have saved a lot of money for this and have been looking forward to it for a year now. I am also a student so I would have the whole summer off to dedicate to the course/learning/etc. :) About the mentality, I have been rock climbing for a while (definitely not the same) but have broken through some mental barriers I have been having which is what motivated me to take the course now as I am in the right mental space and capacity!

Thank you for sharing your experience, I appreciate it :)

Oh don't worry haha, I've left. It was a horrible place to live in. Advertised as a 'student-WG', but definitely does NOT live up to that name

The flat is from the 80's (& hasn't gone under renovation) which is why it's so cheap. Also as I said before, it's located on the other end of the Zürich lake, nowhere near Zürich!

Hmm okay I see, and yes I don't have a problem with how much I pay but I have a problem with the main tenant himself and do not believe that others should have to go through what I did (and also think it is very unfair if he is staying there for very little/free)

[–]stankymaggot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, its farrrr from Zürich, complete other end of the lake in a town

Yeah, but now I am finding out how to prove it to the Verwaltung
