When we need to tiptoe through some dodgy terrain to reach our climbing grounds, we're slipping into the Scarpa Crux approach shoe. The Crux features grippy Vibram outsoles, a full-coverage toe rand, and climbing laces to help us scramble over technical features, catch a toe hold, and ascend toward the crag. We like this best seller for off trail hikes, rock scrambles, and difficult approaches that call for extra grip, protection, and climbing features.
