I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Asolo Freney XT GV Mountaineering Boot

From conquering snow-capped volcanoes to navigating challenging alpine routes in the Bugaboos, the Asolo Freney XT GV Mountaineering Boot is designed to excel in both traditional and technical mountaineering. With a focus on lightweight performance, Asolo has crafted this boot with a water-resistant Schoeller K-Tech Micro Tech upper and a waterproof Gore-Tex insert that also provides light insulation for added warmth at higher altitudes.

Despite its impressive capabilities, the Freney XT weighs in at a mere five ounces lighter than other boots in its class. Its stiff and supportive feel is achieved through the use of a PU heel insert and TPU insert, ensuring stability and support on rugged terrains.
