...YOU GET RED CHILI’S RED-HOT MATADOR GIVEAWAY //

Legend has it that the idea for Red Chili climbing shoes came to the German climbers Stefan Glowacz and Uwe Hofstädter as they descended from the summit of El Cap. The pair dreamt of a shoe that could perform, pitch after grueling pitch, without torturing the foot. Later, while drinking red wine and listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they solidifi ed their El Cap dreaming into a business idea, and Red Chili (redchili.de) was born.

Today, Red Chili turns out some of the world’s fi nest climbing footwear — from the Durango, to the Spirit Lady VCR, to the Corona, to their newest creation: the hard-climbing Matador, brainchild of Golwacz, Daniel Hrozek, and the super-climber Andreas Bindhammer. Sinister, with its black-and-red stylings, the Matador was designed with hard, steep, and technical climbing in mind. Its toe-down shape focuses power on overhangs, and its sharp toe profi le will auger into the most miniscule pockets. The rubber-coated toebox is made for the inverted foot trickery of today’s steep testpieces, while three Velcro straps lock in fi t. All of which means it’s the perfect pepper for your spicy projects. . . .

For the UC35 Coin, eight lucky readers will win a pair of Matadors, plus a Red Chili T-shirt and chalk bag. Toro! Toro!
