I've worn LS Solutions/Skwamas, Scarpa Instinct & the soft line, and I've found that the Evolv Phantom/Agro have by far my favorite heels on any shoes. They feel the most aggressive on heel hooks, and they're also the most form-fitting of what I've tried.
Can anyone point out other shoes that have a similar heel shape/aggressiveness? I'd stay with Evolv but the rubber is too thick and soft, so it's insensitive and rolls off edges way more than other shoes. I find vertical edging easier with the Scarpa Chimera, despite the shoe being significantly softer than the Phantom (which is stiffer than the Solution).
It's a shame you didn't get a chance to try the Mad Rock Hookers. First shoe that was designed for radical heel hooking.

Hi-angles have a heel strip that pretty thin and almost fin-like. They feel like like the most precise (aggressive?) heel I've used. Opposite of the skwama's clunky mass (which, other than the heel, I love).
