Shoe brands carried are 5.10, Scarpa, Zamberlan, ClimbX and Rock Pillars.
Directions: From Taipei Main station->  go straight out of exit M7. Make a left at the corner. Look ahead and youll see the Tingsaniou sign as well as an Arc’teryx sign — that’s where the shop is. The climbing shop is #22 — third of the three doors for Tingsaniou.

Notes: Tingsaniou is pretty much the best place we’ve found to get rock climbing gear in Taipei.
