    I'll be on Mudclaw 270s ................. unless, and probably even if, we don't do the steep grassy bit on the way back down to Red Burn.

    don't wear trail shoes - stick to out and out fell shoes. I wore the new NB's last year (see avatar ) and although not perfect for the grassy bank and grip seemed a wee bit worse than the mudclaws on the loose stuff they keep out the crap thanks to the fancy wee collar thing and have a wee bit more cushioning for the road back.
