When you watch carefully?

Is that a Grandstone in The Century Crack Project?

Pamela Pack is a La Sportiva ambasador and lists the TC Pro as her favourite shoe: http://www.sportiva.com/ambassadors/athletes/pro-climbing/pamela-shanti-pack

I don't own TC Pros so I'm not as good at picking them in pictures, but I think that what she's wearing in this one:

and here:

Steph Davis is a 5.10 athlete, but prefers the Moccasyms, LV VCS and Projects. All softer thinner shoes.

I don't find a great deal of pictures of her climbing wide stuff though and on her blog she often mentions climbing thinner stuff that I guess you can't get your feet into and so the higher sensitivity pays dividends and you don't need anything on your ankles?
