Tenaya Inti

Tenaya

Part of Tenaya's Balance Pro line, the Inti was developed alongside the Ra for climbers who want performance with comfort. Moderate downturn and slight asymmetry deliver precision on vertical walls and moderate overhangs. V-shaped velcro closure with bellows tongue allows rapid fitting, while 4mm Vibram XS Grip rubber and a five-layer insole provide excellent feel on friction and small edges alike.

Best For

Best for sport climbing on slab and vertical terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.
