Climbers—and especially boulderers—are gymnasts of sorts. To reach that next hold, they've got to squat low, stem far, and even do the splits. That's why clothes with a little stretch are mission critical for boulderers of all ability levels. And whether you're a slab connoisseur or master of the heel hook, find the best shoe for your climbing style.

When Mariana busts her signature move—the heel hook—she needs pants like Patagonia's Hampi Rock. With 15% spandex, these pants work with her, not against her.

Meanwhile, the sturdy heel of the La Sportiva Skwama plants with precision and sticks the landing.

Brandon's a flexible guy, and it shows when he goes into full stretch mode on a V8 traverse. That's why he needs shorts like Prana's Super Mojos, made with a fabric blend that stretches and wicks moisture.

When the sun starts to set, Black Diamond's Alpenglow Hoodie has extra fabric built in to give his arms freedom to launch the next move.
