By Ranked #382 - Men's Backpacking Boots December 29, 2011

One reviewer mentions that stickiness and traction of the boot are "good, not great."

Any additional or specific/anecdotal feedback on how sticky these boots are? Am looking for a mid-height boot for going up and down up to fourth class terrain on various kinds of rock (mostly granite, from grainy to highly polished) - any thoughts on how these might perform?

Thanks! :)

From my very early testing just around the city after a wet snow, wet cut boards, and on some icy patches, it's not bad. Better than I thought, but I suspect wet polished granite may prove a little slick. The toe area has little tooth and is meant more of a climbing toe, might help but I prefer toothed.
