Built for long days where the approach matters as much as the summit: glacier slogs, scrambly ridges and via ferratas with a heavy pack. The Ribelle HD is a light leather mountaineering boot that walks far better than its stiffness suggests, with a sock-like fit that wraps the foot and a low-profile sole that stays precise on rock. Around here that means Mt. Hood's south side, the Adams and St. Helens routes, and summer alpine in the North Cascades.
