Imagine that you are two metres above your last bolt. It’s only another half metre to the next clip, but you have no idea how you’re going to get there, or what to make of that tiny undercling above your head. Or perhaps you find yourself glancing down at the crashpad far beneath you, wondering whether you should go for the dyno or not. Your body tenses with determination. You jump for the top of the boulder, and pray the hold behind the tickmark is good. These are the moments when the world around you is swallowed up in silence – there is only you and the rock. Obviously what describes your climbing outfit is “Form follows function.” In those intense moments high above the crashpad or far beneath the next clip, you need your outfit to support you, be practical and lightweight, warm yet cooling, and certainly never get in the way. When all those requirements on functionality have been met, form then comes into play. Every
woman wants to express her own style, even on the rock. adidas asked four top athletes – Sasha DiGiulian, Mélissa Le Nevé, Mayan Smith-Gobat and Barbara Zangerl – what do you want? Which materials, tools, designs and style do you prefer? As a result, this season the everyday outdoor climbing collection and the Terrex® collection are bursting with new ideas and features from our four top female athletes. Take the super-comfortable ED Climb Pant, for example, which is equipped with a soft stretch waistband that can be folded over the abdomen and back. Or consider how the windproof, wear-resistant Terrex WINDSTOPPER® Fast Jacket stands up to the most abrasive rocks on the planet without adding weight. Sasha, Mélissa, Mayan and Barbara have chosen function and form to match their look and personal style so they can get back to that moment, when there is only you and the rock.
