Product Description

The La Sportiva Exum Ridge is the ultimate shoe for any mountain adventurer or trail runner. The synthetic leather and mesh upper provides lightweight, breathable support and repels water.

The Exum Ridge is among the highest performance trail running shoes available.

Voted 5/5

My new approach weapon for the Canadian Rockies and desert climbing. I normally prefer trail runners for desert approaches and a light boot for Canadian Rockies approaches. This is a wonderful hybrid that my wife had turned me onto....that gets both jobs done well with little weight, which is a factor since we are normally carrying our boots/shoes up and over a route. Takes the scree bashing fairly well in comparision to others.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
