Display of 8 athletes was created June 2020 and is located at the Phoenix Rock Gym. I have learned over the years that when displaying shoes it is best to place the support wordage and trinkets attaching them to different thicknesses of foam core boards. Also I have the athletes put their signatures on the shoes. Big THANKS to all of the athletes that donated their shoes to the Karabin Museum!!!

Justine Poole shoes display was created April 2019 and is located at the Phoenix Rock Gym. I really like how she added her own personality to the display with fun wordage about her adventures in Queen Creek Canyon, Superior, AZ. I also like how she drew flowers on her shoes accompanying her signature. Big THANKS Justine!!

Years ago the Access Fund called me and asked if I was interested in a pair of shoes they have that was left over from a climbing auction they had. At the auction nobody bid on the shoes, not even one penny. When I received the shoes I just about fainted. The Kronhoffer shoes were originally worn by the legendary Shawangunks climber Dick Williams in 1959. Dick was a Vulgarian that climbed the routes in the nude. These shoes are considered priceless in the Shawangunks climbing history!
