Well I don't know what size of crack your climbing but I tend to climb hands through chimney sizes...with the occaisonal finger crack in there (I try and avoid those) and I like 5.10 Piton. They dont feel as supportive as the Muiras' (which I climb with as well) and In my opinion lack micro edging power...but for a loooonnggg day of moderate trad they have been great. The rubber wraps ALL the way around the toe and (I have a large foot btw so this may be irrelevent but....) I can jam some fist cracks that feel like hand cracks. Also Heel-Toeing in offwidths has been surprisingly good! Probably due to thier sticky rubber. OVERALL I am more of a LaSportiva fan...but in this area I like the Piton.....the other option is the Tradmaster from LaSportiva...never worn them but heard good things about 'em!
Good Luck!
