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 Like The Olympus Mons Cube Mountaineering Boot
The La Sportiva Olympus Mons Cube Mountaineering Boot is a superior choice for high altitude expeditions. This updated version of the Olympus Mons Evo combines durability and convenience for ambitious mountaineering objectives. One of the standout features is the inclusion of the tough super gaiter made with Stretch Cordura and a watertight Corner Zip, which provides reliable protection in extreme conditions.
A notable improvement is the addition of a dual Boa closure system on the outer boot. This innovative design ensures a quick, simple, and secure fit, allowing you to focus on the task at hand without any distractions. The removable inner boot is insulated with single-density foam, providing adequate warmth and comfort during long expeditions.
What sets the Olympus Mons Cube apart is the incorporation of Primaloft's Gold Aerogel insulation in the alloy-lined Carbon Tech footbed. This cutting-edge technology offers exceptional heat retention and insulation, keeping your feet cozy and protected even in the coldest temperatures. The Carbon Tech footbed also contributes to stability on glacial traverses and provides support during vertical ice climbs.
The Vibram Litebase sole adds a level of durability and traction to the boot, with specific areas featuring this rugged rubber for enhanced grip in key regions. The remaining sole is constructed with Vibram's Morflex expanded EVA rubber, reducing weight without compromising performance when compared to the original Olympus Mons Evo.
