This summer I will be introducing a new climbing shoe to the world of rock climbing. Quite frankly, its going to make me filthy rich.
I will be demonstrating the shoes this May in the Gulch.
I plan to make the first free solo of the Shield Headwall, ignoring the standard route, and using the blank face.
The new route is to be called - What do you Dumbasses really know about ankle injuries. 5.25c Grade II
I also plan to shatter all, I say all, valley speed climbing records.
You can find more info on Gecko shoes from the girls working out of the Rockstar Hummers in El Cap Meadow. The boots will be retailing for $1500 dollars. Discounts for pretty girls.

are you going to harvest the foot pads of thousands of gekos and incure the rath of the PETA people? or do you have a genetic engineering process that will "synthesize" geko foot pads?
my rough guess is that you are selling undervalue and your company will fold before the first product is out the door, rights or no.

Sounds like they will wear out even faster than Madrocks and you will actually fall off the captain only 1/4 of the way up. Too bad you didn't read the fine print.

Doesn't seem like a guy could make much money selling shoes for lizards.
