[...] US climbers have been tearing it up. As reported by Climbing Narc and many others Paul Robinson flashed Nagual, V13 and did the 2nd Ascent of Terremer V15. Additionally Dave Graham has been on a sending spree [...]

Bummer. I assume that this was through Five Ten itself that you tried ordering?

When i discovered the v10s were going out of production I made one final order for a pair of Dragons and two pairs of v10s. This was a month ago. I got a box in the mail today. In it was a single pair of Dragons and a note on the invoice that said “v10 not available.” It is the end of an era my friends. The end of an era.

Yeah, they did the same with the pink lace-ups and tried replacing them with the Mesa’s about 6 years ago. Now the Mesa’s are being phased out and the lace-ups (still around) just got redesigned (or just got a new color it seems)

wouldnt be the first time 5.10 tried to discontinue a popular brand.

5.10 tried to discontinue the anasazi velcro at one point, and the european climbing community raised such a hullaboo that they hastily brought it back and it’s still around.

i also find it ironic that the shoes which were supposed to “replace” the anasazis… the Southwest – is no longer made.

5.10 just hasnt learned that they shouldn’t fuck with the classic shoes.

a twist in the plot: both DG’s near flash of Slashface and Sharma’s near flash of Nagual were made wearing Dragons. At least five.ten isn’t getting rid of those…yet
