• Climbing centre opening not far from here next month. Don't fancy hire stuff, although at first i guess it'll be in good condition.

    Any recommendations for good "entry level" shoes (& harness) for bouldering (& auto-belay) messing around?

    The Dolan Pre-Cursa of climbing I guess is what I'm after...

  • As other recommendations, go to the centre and try on some shoes. The staff there will be able to help you find a fit much easier than we can. I would echo other peoples comments about avoiding too much downturn (often called aggressive shoes). If bouldering is the goal over sport/trad I would pick velcro personally as it makes it easier to walk around the centre between problems if you're primarily climbing indoors.
