By Abigail Scott
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.

Why We Love The Boulder X Approach Shoe
When it comes to navigating challenging terrains like house-sized boulders, the La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoe is our top choice. Its exceptional features make it easier for us to tackle long distances, even with a heavy expedition pack. The shoe's sticky rubber tread and impressive Impact Brake System instill confidence on both wet and dry rock surfaces. The two layers of soft EVA in the footbed and midsole provide unmatched comfort, ensuring we can go from the car to camp without experiencing any bruising or blistering. Additionally, the shoe's leather upper and rubber toe rand are designed to withstand foot dragging and stone kicking during demanding approaches. The mesh liner covering the tongue and rear-foot also offers breathability during the scorching summer months of rock hopping.
