Climb.

I started my Membership at Sport Climb here in Colorado Springs tonight. It's an awesome gym, you should click the link :) I got to try my new shoes tonight for the first time and they were awesome. I have Defy shoes, by Evolv. They're a Vegan rock climbing shoe that's awesome for smearing and edgework while you're climbing. What's even cooler, is that they are made with 50-100% Recycled post-consumer material. Which means they're good for the Earth too! There's nothing quite like a hobby that's eco-minded! Below is a before(provided by Evolvsports.com) pic and an after pic from 1 night of climbing.

    What exactly is a Vegan shoe? I thought that only applied to stuff you eat???

    Becky, That's a really good question. I was coming from a 'Vegan' standpoint which basically means a Non-Leather shoe. Everyone else would call it a non-leather shoe, so I should have also. I didn't think about it from a different perspective like that! I was excited for a non-leather climbing shoe which is pretty rare. Thanks for the reminder to think from all different viewpoints.
