My Running
I really like mountain terrain, ridges, steeps, scrambles, and don’t really mind the old bushwhack. If I’m in the alpine then I’m stoked. I’ve been running for almost two years and I’m currently training for an unsupported WURL.
My Gear
La Sportiva Bushido IIIs, Akasha IIs, and the Mutants. I use a Black Diamond Distance 8 (old gen) and Patagonia Slope Runner Exploration 3L vests. Black Diamond Distance poles and Black Diamond Venom LT ice axe.

I went through a pair of the two’s last year and decided to pick up the three’s while I was building my shoe quiver for the season. The fit is really good after I broke them in and it only took around 30 miles. I don’t think that I’ll be getting another pair of Bushidos in the future though. The traction compared to my Mutants and Akashas is lacking and they also don’t seem to run as well as them. The only redeeming quality is that they are stable on off-camber surfaces and have great traction on snow. They...

Is there a new Mutant in the works? Just curious because of the price drop.
