You are listening to The Enormo Cast.

If there's one thing that's held true in climbing for 30 years,

it's that you can't kill the damn mythos. That's right.

Sportiva's famous mythos climbing shoe is still as popular as ever after 30 years

edging, smearing, and crack climbing worldwide. And to celebrate the start of its 3030s,

Sportiva's issuing the mythos 30th anniversary edition.

Same cult classic design, but built from eco-friendly materials and manufacturing

and with a jaunty color twist. How jaunty? Well, you know how those euros roll.

What also remains is the comfort and performance of this stalwart classic.

Comfort and performance you cry, I call foul callus.

But that really is the magic of the mythos, especially if your quiver needs an all-day shoe that

will caress your toes like a trip to the spa. Because let's face it,

aggressive shoes are great for the short shots, but it's hard to climb your best on pitch 12

when you feel like somebody pounded your toes flat with a ball-peen hammer.

So if you're feeling legendary, then have a look at the 30th anniversary mythos

and the more subdued flash of the eco-methos at sportiva.com or your favorite local shot.

Do you like compliments? Compliments are good, right?

From the outright straight to your face statements of praise to the knowing look and slight chin

jet from your favorite bro at the gym, compliments can turn your frown upside down in an instant.

And hands down of all the gear I pedal on the Norma cast, the item that receives the most out

of the blue compliments are the splitter hats from peterwgilroy.com.

You know, the ones with the titanium plaques and badges. That's right, titanium on a hat.
