From chasing plastic in the gym with friends to finding flow on sun-drenched granite slabs, or even linking pitches on a classic all-day trad route, the Ascent Lace-Up delivers versatile performance. Designed for climbers who value comfort and precision, its symmetric, flat last cradles your foot for all-day wear, making long belays and multi-pitch climbs feel less punishing. The traditional lace-up closure allows you to dial in a precise fit, ensuring confident footwork whether you're smearing on delicate slab or jamming a hand crack. Crafted with a supple 1.8mm unlined leather upper, these shoes conform to your foot over time, offering a personalized feel and excellent sensitivity. Underfoot, the 4.5mm PrimaGrip Dura rubber outsole provides reliable grip and exceptional durability, while the full-length 1.5mm thermoplastic midsole offers crucial support. Double pull-tabs and a padded tongue make for easy on/off and sustained comfort.
