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 Excelsior Pant
When we're embarking on a long tour, the La Sportiva Excelsior Pant is our go-to choice. This exceptional soft-shell pant offers a remarkable 4-way stretch and gusseted crotch, promoting powerful and precise movement during our ascent. At the summit, the adjustable snow gaiter ensures our socks stay dry, while the convenient large side vents can be quickly zipped up for our descent.
Product Details
The Excelsior Pant is specifically designed for high-output tours in the high alpine. Its innovative 4-way stretch fabric not only delivers a natural stride but also provides excellent water-resistance. To combat excess heat during intense climbs, the pant features large mesh-lined side vents that efficiently dump heat. For added convenience, the pant offers multiple pockets to securely store your essentials throughout the day. Additionally, the articulated knees and gusseted crotch further enhance freedom of movement. The reinforced bottom hem ensures long-lasting durability, and the snow gaiter keeps your socks dry even in deep snow.
