Bio:
Grew up boating, fishing, visiting some wild places but never exerting too much physical effort. All that changed when I dropped my better half off at Springer in 07 and drove home to a cubicle at a financial printing company and a 6 month wait for her return, thinking I didn't want to backpack for "that long". Needless to say I was by her side within 2 months and we hiked onward for 5 more taking our sweet time (who wants to come home to mom's basement when you can leisurely hike the NorthEast through the end of September?).
Since then we moved from Michigan out to Oregon and I have gotten into a whole lot more than backpacking, though that is still a first love. But right now climbing and alpinism is what gets me out of bed (or keeps me out for those alpine starts).
cheers

I have a pair of Mediums and am trying to get them to fit on a size 9 lowa mountain expert and they are only snug when I have the buckle tightened so much that its near the edge of the sole and the hook is going over the very first (near the toe) cross of laces. I think I will be returning them for a size small.
