I wanted to thank my newest sponsor, La Sportiva, for their support. La Sportiva has been innovating with footwear for 80 years and supports over 140 families living in the Dolomites who hand craft the shoes. Starting out as a family business, it has now established itself across the globe. They make products for most outdoor foot needs: technical climbing shoes, approach shoes, trail running, heavy duty boots for ice climbing and serious mountain climbing...they've got it all! And, I've been wearing Sportiva shoes since the first pair I bought back in 1992, the Enduro (wish I had a digital photo of those!). I've tried other brands over the years, but inevitably they would be passed on. The Sportiva shoe has always fit my foot and worked well for me and over the years has become the shoe I trust the most. I am excited for this opportunity to represent them.
