WORKBOOK 2011
Engineered for climbingRock Pillars climbing shoes are tool for sport which enables the climbers to make their performance better, to maintain motivation, and to experience climbing at its
best. The story has begun in Siberia. Rock Pillars was found in late 80-ies. Few years later was Evgeni Ovtchinnikov 3rd in the World Cup competing in Rock Pillars. At
this time, Pavel Hendrych, Czech engineer and industrial designer has joined. Together with Evgeni and other climbers, they have created shoes conforming needs
of sport climbers.
Rock Pillars, engineered for climbing, are being created in atmosphere of high technology and deep user knowledge. Rock Pillars never stop bringing new technological
solutions, lasts and rubber compounds. Thanks to precise construction and used materials Rock Pillars breaks the barrier in climbing, and sponsored climbers are the
creative base for new solutions. Company producing also climbing equipment Ocún has its own manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic. Today has around 100
dedicated employees and sells in 44 countries worldwide.

TOP GUN LU
TOP GUN QC
PEARL LU
The weapon for cruising the hardest sport routes and boulders. Developed in
cooperation with world champions Tomas Mrazek and Salavat Rakhmetov,
its design plan is simple-performance. The Top Gun LU is made from top-
quality materials including a Vibram sole and synthetic leather uppers. The
rubber covered toe is designed for maximizing toe hooking and jamming
when the going gets steep. The precision toe turns the tiniest footholds into
a stairway, and the heelcup grips the heel for maximum pulling.
Best for:
Bouldering, rock climbing, sport climbing, competitions, cracks, edges,
heelhooks, toehooks
The concept of Top Gun started with an idea of creating sport climbing shoe
which can still be very comfortable. Right mixture of materials, cut and
rubber made it work on this quick closure shoe. It can be used on overhangs,
slabs, multi pitches as well as indoors or bouldering. Stiff midsole makes it
possible on micro footholds. Practical rubber foil toe-box cover enables toe
hooking in its best. Sticky Vibram XS Grip as usual prooves unbeatable on
any time of rock.
Best for:
Bouldering, rock climbing, sport climbing, competitions, cracks, edges,
heelhooks, toehooks
Developed in conjunction with Tomas Mrazek (several time World Champion
and numerous 9a routes) the Pearl is manufactured to be a very light and
close-fitting shoe. It‘s made out of high quality micro-fiber based synthetic
leather. The shoe is lined with a comfortable polyester fabric. Its Vibram sole
allows you to stick to overhangs, tiny edges, and small pockets. The special
cut gives it the right stiffness yet maintains excellent sensitivity. The fast
lace-up system, the lined tongue and the raised heel with two pull straps
make it very easy and comfortable to put on. With its asymmetrically shaped
last “Radical”, the downward pointing toe, and tight heel, the Pearl gives the
feeling of wearing high caliber guns on feet. Upper: 1,8 mm microfiber leather

PEARL QC
PEARL SLIPPER
ZEROCKS
Pearl QC model is built from the same foundation as its lace-up cousin. It
provides all the precision and performance as the lace up, but with the
convenience of a quick closure system. Pearl QC is ideal for shorter sport
routes, boulders, training in the gym, or any other situation where easy on
and off is required.
Best for:
Rock and indoor climbing, sport routes, competitions, multi-pitch, edges
The last member of the Pearl family fulfills the requirements for hard
bouldering. We put the stress to its comfort and all-around climbing use. The
asymmetric cut of the instep and the special shape of the shoe toe makes
toe hooking very easy. The three pull loops make certain that the shoes can
be put on even if worn very tight.
Best for:
Bouldering, indoor climbing, training, slabs, pockets, cracks, toehooks
The second generation of Zerocks are definitely one of the best all-around
rock shoes on market. The use of Anatomic last provides a bit more space
in the toe box. This brings much more precision while standing on very
tiny footholds. The synthetic micro fiber uppers allow you the user to get a
comfortable, precise, tight fit. Deeper heel, provides outstanding confidence
for hard heel hooking and second evolution of Grippin rubber formula (which
is 30% more adhesive than the first one) provides perfect friction.

Zion has an optimal anatomic shape and perfect sticky rubber formula. Both
models are produced on Anatomic last which resulted from never ending
development and a long search for the perfect synergy between foot and
shoe. Another very important result of this development is the second
generation of Grippin sticky rubber, which provides excellent friction and
durability. And to give these specially developed shoes the right flavor, we
have marinated them in fresh orange juice. Zion is the right choice for those,
who prefer to have all-around climbing shoes for wide range of climbing
activities from bouldering to bigwalls and who prefer lace up system.
Best for:
Rock climbing, intermediate sport routes, technical pockets, edges, multi
pitch routes
Not only is the Zeal a powerful combat shoe, but also a universal shoe for all
kinds of climbing and all kinds of rock. It is an ideal shoe for climbers with
intermediate to advanced climbing skills. Zeal was the first model made on
the “Radical” last, offering a double layer rand and innovative construction of
the toe box of the shoe. The fast lace-up system, breathable tongue, lined
toe box, Grippin rubber sole, and perforated heel are special features that
have been part of this shoe since 2000. Sometimes, one must work hard to
be popular and that is what Zeal knows how to do. The union of modern and
classic, in materials and design - that is the objective of Zeal.

Climbing shoe construction
Upper construction materials and liningThe Rock Pillars climbing shoes are made either of natural leather or synthetic
leather or a combination of both.
Traditional material for climbing shoes upper production is split suede leather.
It brings comfort and is enough hygienic and breathable. For reduction of
elasticity and technological strenghtening it is reinforced by cotton lining.
Modern and technologically advanced material is its synthetic imitation
from PES microfiber. This material has far better parameters of elasticity and
dimensional stability. It gives the shoes partial elastic features. Also lining is
customized to respect this elasticity and that is why absorbent PES knit is
used. In hygienic parameters synthetic materials are behind natural leather
but this can be balanced by washing.
Padded airy tongueAiry tongue glued-up of three layers of permeable materials - absorbent
lining, perforated foam and 3D Mesh knitted fabric - provides permanent
ventilation of the shoe.
Seamless heelSince 1994, Rock Pillars has been using a special upper-cut construction,
where no snip goes through the heel area, so it means that the heel is
without any seams. Such a heel is much more comfortable compared to
other shoe constructions (especially in case of climbing shoes which have
pre-stressed heel-band and the heel is more pressed).
MidsoleMidsole is very important component in the climbing shoe construction. The
midsole gives stiffness of the shoe. It significantly affects constructional
reinforcement and shape stability. According to used material, its thickness
and manufacturing technology, the midsole gives to the shoes important
features which define sensitivity and stability for climbing on edges. Modern
technologies use thermo molding of flexible materials which have shape
memory. These features significantly affect efficiency in climbing. Rock
Pillars use 3D Fit system.
3D Fit midsoleConstruction of thermo-molded midsole of convex shape provides support
for toes and constructional stiffness for a good transference of forces. It is
made of thermo-active and flexible, shape-stable materials.
Rands, rubber patch and power distributionBesides upper material features, its construction and last is composition
of all rubber parts including sole one of the most essential factors which
give the shoes final features. These parts are not only to cover and protect
the upper from heavy use in rocks, they are also important construction
point contributing largely to correct function of the climbing shoes – foot
stability. Correct force distribution based on foot anatomy knowledge
and tension requirements of the construction used by specific climbing
techniques, defined correct shape of rubber parts and main features of
rubber. Handmade completion and correct pre-stress are unique alchemy of
our craft. New patented 3-Force system is example of our neverending effort
in „engineered for climbing“.
Tensioned heel-bandPre-stressed heel band provides firmer fixation of the heel and adequate
pressure in the toe direction. Optimum tension of this shoe part is
constructively defined. Pre-stressed heel band is made of special DURARAND
rubber, which has optimum parameters for transference of forces.
Perforated heelThanks to the perforation, gets the heel part better shape-flexibility and
higher friction for heel-climbing techniques. For these purposes, the heel
part is made of very flexible, high-friction rubber STICKYRAND.
Rubber patch for toe hookingIn the area of toe joints, especially big-toe area is the upper material
protected by smaller piece of special rubber foil in thickness 0,9 mm. This
rubber foil is produced from special sticky compound. This construction
protects the climbing shoe upper and enables tip of the shoe to transfer
forces better into toe-hooking in overhang or technically demanding routes.

Lace-up (LU)
Though the lace –up system may seem to someone to be less comfortable,
it is a good choice for those, who have not a typical foot shape. The lace-up
system helps to make the shoe really close-fitting. The classic LU system
maybe less practical, but when carefully laced, the shoe should not have
to be re-laced.
Quick lace-up (LU)
Quick LU means that the laces run through leather channels and can be
adjusted just with a single pull.
Quick closure (QC)
The quick closure solution with velcro stripes guarantees comfort and fast
and easy fixation of the foot. It is practical especially for training when the
climber needs to put the shoe on and off constantly.
Slipper
She slipper shoes are fitted with high quality elastic in the instep part. The
slipper is ideal for climbers who do not want to bother with any kind of lacing.
Nevertheless, a slipper shoe cannot be adjusted.
3-Force patented systemOriginal solution by Rock Pillars from 1994 enables to use rubber foil in the construction of front toe-box. It was improved by our new 3-Force system. 3-Force
uses connection of 3 points which enabled controlled inner force distribution in order to maintain better torsion stability. Inner rand rubber in the place of big toe
stabilizes standing on edge and protects the big toe while toe-hooking, it continues in periphery of toe-joints to outer edge. By this it stabilizes this periphery and
with slight tension it circuits inner foot arch where is in the space of big toe´s joint fixed in a way of perforated ending tongue. This support softly this joint and
prevents from horizontal movement from the tip-toe. Final effect can be described as:
3-Force patented system:
• Stabilizes inner edge while standing on small edges by force contra-reaction from inner foot arch.
• Stabilizes front part of the slipper construction in the area of toe joints.
• Stabilizes big-toe position from horizontal movement from the tip-toe.
The closure systemSystem of shoe closure is very important construction point. It influences both comfort and overall stability of the upper part of foot. Often it influences also
technique of climbing. We use 4 different systems: classic lace-up and quick lace up system (LU), quick closure (QC) system for fast and precise fixation of the
foot and a high quality elastic for fast and easy put on and off.

Friction theory and climbing forces transferenceFriction applies to two smooth parallel materials sliding against one another.
Friction depends on the true contact area of the two objects. In climbing,
there are several factors that have some impact on friction.
Weather
Temperature: Affects physical parameters of the materials, suitable
conditions for best adhesion of rubber are temperatures between 5 – 15
°C. Climbing shoe manufacturers design their shoe rubber to work best in
a specific temperature range (0-5 °C), below this temperature the rubber
is harder and won‘t mould well to the shape of the rock and above this the
rubber will be too soft and will deform too easily. This is why climbing shoes
work best in the cold.
Humidity: Air humidity as well as humidity inside of the rock reduce rubber
adhesion.
Rock
Slopes: Coefficient of friction is dependant on the angle of rock slope and
that is why smaller rock slope secures higher friction.
Surface structures: Structure and rock surface texture have direct effect on
friction. On grain structure are important shape and sharpness of the grain.
Fine and sharp texture makes best condition for friction, on the other way
rough and smooth texture is less favourable as in the contact place between
rubber and rock will be less interface.
Climber
Pressure: Specific pressure caused by the climber on rock makes effectively
the real interface between rubber and rock because this pressure causes
rubber surface deformations which will increase the interface.
Surface area: The bigger the standing interface area is, the bigger the friction is.
Correct foot technique as well as balance feeling have great effect on friction.
Shoes
Stiffness: If the rock climbing sole construction is enough soft to make best
surround of the rock surface, the bigger the interface area will be. But certain
constructional stiffness is required as the shoe must secure standing on
the small edges where stability plays its role.
Rubber: Climbing rubber with correct parameters is one big alchemy.
Parameters are defined by various components. Rubber has to have correct
hardness and adhesion but mainly correct viscoelastic parameters which
enable penetration of the rubber into rock structure. Softness allows
rubber to mesh with rock and its rough surface. Rubber needs to be soft
to allow it mould to the rock but if it‘s too soft the rubber will deform and
slip. Softness of rubber also varies with temperature. Sticky rubber which
gets easily penetrated by rock microstructure and is enough hard to transfer
this enlarged interface area into friction, is the correct climbing rubber
compound. And the rubber also determines resistance against wear which
affects the lifetime of the shoe.
Development and parameters of rubber compounds are for the efficiency
and sport results of climbing shoes same important as for Formula 1 cars.
To maintain perfect force transference by friction during contact of climbing
shoes with rock requires scientific research in the field of physical theory of
friction and chemical development of new compounds. Rock Pillars has this
development for more than 20 years. Science cannot be without real life and
testing. We are working many years on constant improvement together with
our specialized suppliers, such as Vibram and also laboratory developing
compounds Grippin. For specialized rubber compounds which are used for
climbing shoes, the physical features play always such role for which the
rubber is purposed.
Vibram XS Grip
Is the latest rubber compound from VIBRAM® , it
is used on our performance and extreme models
in 8c and 9a range. It is working stable on edges,
smears and pockets, delivering maximum friction
in all temperatures. Softer compound aimed mainly on extreme sport
climbing on overhang rock where every bite counts.
Grippin Edge
Was developed by our laboratory for
maximum edging power, combination of
friction and grip but still with great edging stability. Thanks to an improved
resistance to plastic distortion, it keeps its shape even after hours of use. It
was mixed for superior durability. Great choice for our 7b range.
Grippin Dura
Was designed for extreme durability. This
compound combines important features
of friction, edging and stability. Due to balanced mixing of all we have come
up with great rubber with universal features and long-lasting lifetime. Correct
choice for our 6a and Explorer lines.
Recommended in case where all-round use and lifetime are priority.
Durarand
Is special rand rubber compound for rands and pre-stresses bands used
for climbing shoes construction. Resistance to wear – durability, and
elastic features important for force distribution were the main criteria in
development of this compound.
Recommended for rands where durability and constructional distribution of
forces are needed.
Stickyrand
Is special high-friction rubber compound with reduced stiffness which is
suitable for special use on climbing shoes where sensitivity and friction play
their main role. This compound is used on heels and toe-boxes - those parts
which are used for hooking.
Recommended for upper and rand parts where sensitivity and friction are
preferred.

Lasts and anatomyLast gives the climbing shoes shape and correct volume. Development of lasts and its molding is long-term evolution based on deep knowledge and new
information synergy, which come with development of sport climbing. It is a precisely constructed climbing shoe what supports the foot to stand on the rock
properly and helps to reduce the stress of sole muscles. Developers of climbing shoes have to be experts in foot anatomy, because every typical foot shape needs
a suitable shoe model. To connect anatomical features and capabilities of foot with climbing technique is a must which Rock Pillars fulfill for many years hand in
hand with creation of new lasts. Also requirements of comfort and recreational climbing must be satisfied by our lasts. That is why we use nowadays 7 different
lasts with different characters, which suit different feet and different performance requirements.

Sizes and optimal fitCorrect choice of last, resp. climbing shoe model is not the only parameter
in choosing a climbing shoe. Everyone has unique foot and relevant
volume. Size choice is then determined by toughness of construction and
our performance requirements. Generally we can say that optimal size
for performance climbing is smaller than recreational or multi-pitch size.
While working with recommended size charts it is necessary to know your
standard walking shoe size and size of the foot in mm.
Size range and correct size choiceCorrect transfer of sizes between individual size systems and
recommendation of climbing shoe sizes are neverending topics for
discussions. We have realized this fact from the very beginning and that
is why we have chosen Mondo Point system from the beginning for Rock
Pillars climbing shoes. Whole collection is produced on lasts which are sized
in metrical range. This has its great advantage as everybody has metrical
device, pen and paper and therefore easily figures out his/her foot-length.
Length of the foot in mm is Mondo size. Standard marking of Rock Pillars
climbing shoes than reflects sizes for PERFORMANCE FIT, meaning that sizes
of lasts are already customized to performance climbing by which the bent
position of big-toe is normal.
Correct procedure while choosing the size:
1. Measure footlength.
2. Choose how tight it should be according to performance (Comfort,
Performance, Extreme).
3. Make size correction according to recommended chart.
Example of how to choose Rock Pillars:
Foot-length is 26,5 cm (alternative transfer to UK is 2+6+0,5-1 = 7,5 UK)
265 mm or 7,5 UK is recommended size as per our chart (see chart) which
will ensure Performace Fit by Rock Pillars climbing shoes.
When you prefer more comfort which resembles Comfort Fit, choose climbing
shoes 5 to 10 mm larger. This transfers to 0,5 UK, resp. 1,0 UK size. In our case
8 to 8,5 UK. This size corresponds to our regular walking or trekking shoes.
In case you are looking for extreme difficulty and very short climbs, your
choice of size will be 0,5 to 1,0 UK smaller. Thus 6,5 to 7 UK. Extreme Fit could
be, especially in newly bought shoes, quite painful and in case of wide feet
it is not suitable. Using this size also puts great demand on materials and
could end in early damage or even tearing of the shoes.

Pockets
In the smallest pockets, there is
often only enough space for the
tip-toes, sometimes the pressure
can be increased by raising the
heel. Shoes which are strongly
asymmetrical, pre-tensioned and with downturned toe bring the best
performance in pockets.
Edges
On edges the inner or the outer side
of tip-toe is used to step onto the
foothold. It would be unfavourable,
when a soft shoe would twist
around the foot and rotate from the
foothold. A firm shoe with a stable midsole but sensible enough makes the
transfer of energy much easier.
Slabs
Slabs have minimum edges or
any kind of small footholds, just
subtle dents and waves. On slabs
climbing, the heel is rather low and
good movement in the ankle joint is
needed. It is friction what makes it possible to keep the position of the foot.
The climber stands on the rock with the whole front part of the sole. The right
shoe for slabs climbing should have flexible midsole, good sticky rubber and
must be sensitive enough.
Cracks
Wedging the foot sideways in the
crack or jamming across the crack,
this is the way to increase friction
so that the shoe holds. Climbing
cracks in too soft shoes hurts. Solid
leather with lining and raised rubber rand increases durability of the shoe
and improves its comfort.
Heel hooks
This kind of movement helps
climber to pull himself over a steep
piece of terrain like overhang, or to
get balance or to take a rest. The
heel can be hooked on ledges,
pockets, around corners. Raised heel rubber protects the leather and adds
the necessary friction, while a tensioned heel prevents the shoe from
pulling off. The construction of the heel is important to make the heelhooks
functional. There should be not too much and ideally no free space in the
heel cup.
Toe hooks
Toe hooks are even more refined
than a heel hook and helpful in
overhangs. Reinforced rubber toe-
box cover is really practical here,
because it increases friction and of
course protects the leather.
Rock climbing
In general, the quality of rock climbing shoe depends
on its construction and rubber. Rock climbing offers
quite a wide range of climbing terrains. There are
slopers, holes, edges, slabs, and cracks and of
course several kinds of rock with various difficulty.
To make one universal shoe usable for rock climbing as such would not be
possible without some compromise. That is why we produce several models
also with different anatomic features. Some shoes may be better for holes,
edges and tinniest foot holds and some for slabs and friction.
Indoor climbing
Qualities of a shoe for indoor climbing depend
mostly on performance level of the climber himself.
Beginners need to have a comfortable shoe with
the stress on its durability. It is not that simple to
classify shoe for advanced climbers, there are many
individual aspects to be taken into consideration. In principle, who wears
climbing shoes just for one route, prefers quick closure system and can
wear shoes very tight. Real sport climbers need extremely tight fit of the
shoe and great stability on edges, small footholds are important for difficult
competition routes.
Bouldering
In bouldering depends on millimeter stepping
precision, body loading and balance in order to
solve a bouldering problem. The shoe has to be very
stable and sticky on the tinniest footholds, edges
or slabs. The shoe must not twist from the foothold
and needs to have a tight fit with a great sensibility in the tip-toe. The
climber needs also a shoe workable for heel- and toe-hooks. Only a perfect
construction and high quality rubber make a real shoe for bouldering.
Multi-pitch climbing
The shoe suitable for multi-pitch climbing with
several rope lengths should be comfortable, stable
on holds and lace-up system is preferred. For more
difficult routes, tight fit and edge-stable shoes
are important. Then the tight fit with quick closure
system is better, but climbers need to take the shoes off while staying
on belay point. Those who want to compromise have either to loose some
precision and choose more comfortable shoe or to stand some pain.
Climbing activitiesThere are several different disciplines and every discipline has different requirements for functional qualities of the shoe.
Climbing techniquesAs we already mentioned in the previous text, there are not only several different climbing disciplines, but also number of different climbing techniques, which
requires a special footwork. Every climbing technique benefits from the specific features of a climbing shoe. Well done shoe is a mighty weapon for fighting gravity.
With a right shoe, a climber has chance to push his limits further. In Rock Pillars product range, you find the right model for every purpose.
