Not satisfied with the rubber s application for difficult technical climbs cole returned to the rubber laboratory and two years later introduced stealth c4 now known as the benchmark of all high friction rubbers.
Stealth c4 rubber sheet.
Over achievers will make good use of tin snips clamps and a drill or belt sander.
High performance rubber in outdoor sports means either the greatest friction or the most cushioning often a combination of both.
Edging excellent interlock vibration damping hard friction.
Don t know but if you soak climbing shoes in boiling water the sole will delaminate and come out as a complete sheet.
Cole is considered one of the great marketing minds of the outdoor industry.
Some thinks the stealth is stickier others think the vibram is.
Stealth is the name of a series of rubber formulas each developed to provide the highest possible performance in its application.

Vibram and stealth are two of the best lines of climbing rubber available.
I did that to one of my old and knacked pair of shoes in attempt to use the rubber to.
That being said the only place i noticed the difference in performance are indoors gyms that have a lot of polished foot chips and holds in addition to the walls being polished.
Tried and true c4 allows climbers to stick to barely there edges lock into smears on microscopic nubbins and cruise up technical terrain with unparalleled confidence in their footwork.
If you are handy and have some basic tools utility knife sandpaper pliers and are patient you can do a respectable job.

Stealth c4 is featured on our guide tennies anasazi guides and rogue shoes.
It is extremely sticky comparable to the vibram xs grip 2 i think everyone is on the fence with this.
Most shoes come with 4mm soles.
Trax is definitely not as sticky as stealth c4 but it will last longer.
