Scarpa’s Rapid XT Approach Shoes Are Made to Handle It All
AMGA Certified Rock and Alpine Guide Lani Chapko tested the Scarpa Rapid XT approach shoes over a two-month period that included over 85,000 feet of elevation gain, three first ascents, and climbing on snow, ice, and rock up to 5.8. Lani says about these shoes: “With solid edging for moderate climbing, stability on snow and talus, compatibility with universal crampons, and durability that surpasses many other options, they’re best suited for climbers and alpinists who need one shoe to handle everything from long approaches to technical scrambling.”
