Five Ten Hiangle

Five Ten Stealth rubber is widely considered the highest-friction outdoor climbing rubber available. The Hiangle's slight downturn and precise toe box combine the slab-crushing properties of Stealth C4 rubber with moderate performance shape. On friction slab (featureless granite where only rubber adherence keeps you on the wall), Five Ten rubber outperforms almost everything else. The trade-off is that Stealth rubber wears faster than stiffer compound. For slab-focused climbers or anyone climbing granite smears regularly, the Hiangle's rubber advantage is the deciding factor.
