On today's show we're coming top you from OutDoor 2015, where we've been hanging out in the Arc'teryx booth. While there we caught a quick word with Multi-Pitch maestro Nina Caprez. Nina has recently repeated 'Hannibal's Alptraum' or 'Hannibal's Nightmare', a five pitch limestone slab route in Switzerland’s Rätikon Massif. The grades weigh in at 7b+, 8a, 8a, 8a, 7b+, which at first glance might not sound like the hardest thing that Nina has ever done, but by her account the style of the route made it incredibly tough! <br />While at the booth, we also checked out a brand new approach shoe from Arc'teryx. Launching in March 2016, the Arakys shoe is a very interesting prospect for all those sport climbers and boulderers out there looking for an approach shoe that's also comfortable to wear while belaying or spotting. A nice balance between flip-flops and bulkier approach shoes, the Arc'teryx Arakys combines the grip of a normal approach shoe on the sole, with their latest construction technology called Adaptive Fit Lite. This combines to give a sturdy, lightweight shoe that's perfect for the approach but which can also have its heel collapsed to produce a comfortable belay sandal. The retail price of the shoe will be €130 and it will be available from March 2016.<br />Nina Caprez And The Power Of The Pink Pants | EpicTV Climbing Daily Ep. 539
