was living in Maine the last several months, was quite a shock to this CA-OR man.
maybe the skiing can be good out here...but i'm skeptical...
but,
ice climbing this year was a blast.
and now it is rock climbing season.

That's an awesome season! I didn't pick up the tools once this year, sucks. But I got some decent days on snow in the worst and most fucktarded season ever. Are you traveling to climb or keeping it local? I hear there's tons of rock in Maine to keep you busy... hope you take some more pics!

So much good rock in ME, outside of Acadia and Shagg you're likely to spend a whole day without seeing another climber.

Sweet ice shots. I too did not swing a pick all season...so sad, but I did get a few days on rock, including some on the Italian Riviera, so nothing really to complain about.

Had a nice outing on the yellow spur the other day. Fall climbing is so nice with the nice weather and being sorta in shape.
Edit: the mobile uploader keeps messing up the rotation, I can't seem to get it right

Quick, non-stoke related question: Is the Myhthos a good shoe for a newish climber? I'm looking for an all-arounder. I live in Tahoe, am not a great climber (sub-5.11 in the gym and sub-5.10 on rock), and am currently top roping and gym climbing, but I have aspirations of doing 5.6 to 5.9 trad stuff around Donner, Lover's Leap, and the Eastern Sierra next year. I have some $50 Mad Rocks that I bought a few years ago and never really used much until this summer. They're comfy, but the rubber seems shitty and they aren't exactly performance-sized. I was set to pick up some Moccasyms, but it felt like they had a bit of dead space even in the painfully tight sizes. The TC Pros sound dope, but they may be a better shoe than I deserve.
Anyhow, here's some iPhone-shot newbie top-roping madness:

Mythos are great shoes for anyone. TC Pros are also excellent, get what fits you best.

I'd say it really depends on what you want to do with them - mythos's were made for all day trad - now they have been by and large replaced by the TC pro, which is arguably a better shoe.
But if you are doing gym and single pitch sport, you would probably be better off with any one of the major companies sport climbing shoes, like a LS miura, scarpa boostic or tenaya tatanka or oasi - or something along those lines. Whatever fits your foot.

Yea, whatever fits for sure. So many good options for shoes out there. I think the force x is a good all-arounder.
