ASCENT EVO GTX®

Climbing up steep rock sections felt noticeably more secure thanks to the boot's precise fit around the heel and ankle. I've used them on three via ferrata routes now and they handled everything from loose scree to solid granite without slipping.

The precision on the toe holds while edging on limestone is seriously impressive, and the fit felt dialed in right out of the box. I've used them for both alpine rock and a few via ferrata routes, and they've handled everything without a hot spot.

Took these up a via ferrata last weekend and the grip on wet rock was solid the whole way. Stiff enough for edging on small holds but they still flex nicely when I'm scrambling. My feet stayed dry through a creek crossing, which I wasn't expecting.
