Are these beyond saving or could I resole them?

I'm in need of some advise and I hope I've posted it in the right forum.

I've been wearing out my Five Ten Anasazi for roughly 3 years but now their reaching their limit. Is it possible to resole them or are they beyond saving? Never resoled them before.

Either way I'm thinking to buy a pair of new ones, but if it's possible to save them I'd like to use them for climbing outdoors (usually climb indoors). Or will they be as good as new after they've been resoled?

Also, if anyone know a good place for that in Barcelona? And what does it usually cost to resole a pair of climbing shoes?

Thankful for any advise I'll receive!

generally, you need to resole well before you wear a hole completely through the shoe.  in my experience, these cannot be saved

Can, yes.  Should, no.

It's best to drown them in the bathtub and end their suffering.

I guessed so.. Well, we had a nice run. Their not even worth "saving" for outdoor climbing? Outdoors I'm not climbing the most difficult routes and not particularly often (a few times per year) so don't want to buy completely new ones solely for that purpose..

In addition to resole, you need the toe box stitched and then capped. Between new soles, toe caps as well as stitching, the cost will be nearly that of new shoes. They also will not perform as well as new shoes after the stitch job. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
