[pct-l] Kahtoola microspikes and luna sandals

[gschenk1 at roadrunner.com]

I tried Kahtoolas on Mt. Baldy. Traversing a steep slope I did not like the way they rolled underfoot. If I thought I would need traction
in snow, I'd rather carry a pair of aluminum crampons. YMMV HYOH, etc, etc, wow.

He's not the only one.  Last year I got "destablized" crossing Miller Creek. When I got to shore a ways downstream, I was missing one shoe (and one trekking pole, but that's another story). 



I went about 2 or 3 days to Donner Pass with one shoe and one Croc.  Where necessary, I used microspikes on the Croc.  You do what you gotta do.

Ned would be rolling over in his grave except he's still very much   
alive so he'll be doing whatever living people do instead. This   
person uses Kathoola microspikes with Barefoot Ted Luna huarache   
running sandals and boiled wool tabi socks. Runs around the Pikes   
Peak area in the snow, in a kilt, too. Incredible.
