In the mailbag comes the above photos and note below from Hieu who recently hiked Mt. Baldy in California in his Classic FiveFingers:

Here are five pics of me at Mt Baldy in California. The hike was pretty difficult, but I finished with my Classics. The terrain was rocky mostly, but I made it through, making sure every step I took was a safe and secure one. The Classics held up great! They were very light weight and were not taxing on my legs. We hiked up to an elevation of 10,000 feet. I got a few odd looks on the way up — mostly out of curiosity and/or admiration. Once we got to the top, we headed down to a lift chair which took us back down. Very nice!

Cheers,

Hieu

Classics have the least cushion of any outdoor VFF (Excluding the indoor-only Moc and Peforma), so rocky hikes in Classics make for quite the foot massage!

I imagine taking the lift back down the mountain made for a nice and relaxing, not to mention scenic, ride.

Thanks for sharnig, Hieu!
