Tenaya Tanta Laces
Tenaya
Lace-up version of the Tanta for climbers who prefer traditional closure with maximum volume control. Same M4 technology, flat profile, and triple-layer bellows tongue as the velcro Tanta. Lace closure gives finer adjustment across the whole foot, which some beginners find more secure and comfortable than velcro. Equally suited to gym training and first outdoor sessions.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on slab and vertical terrain. Aimed at beginner to hobby climbers.
