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 Like The Salewa Wildfire 2 PTX Approach Shoe

If our kids are drawn to climbing or summer mountaineering, the Salewa Wildfire 2 PTX Approach Shoe is the perfect choice to help them conquer any obstacles in their way. This shoe combines hiking shoe features with climb-oriented elements, including climbing laces that extend to the toes. The protective rubber rand not only enhances durability but also provides edging capabilities. The Pomoca rubber outsoles have a unique blend of hike-oriented tread and climb-oriented sticky rubber, giving young climbers the traction they need to ascend the mountain and reach the base of the climbing route. Additionally, the PTX technology incorporates a PowerTex waterproof membrane, ensuring their feet stay dry in soggy trails, damp days, and wet weather conditions.
