Lost: La Sportiva g2 evo on Mt Elbert NE ridge

[gcollinge]

Broke in a new pair of boots only to lose one on the way down. So sad!

I will pay $200 if it is recovered in good shape before I need to replace it Mid April or so.

Bright yellow and black. Size 47.

I believe it fell out near the tree line on the NE ridge route. It was lost on Sunday, March 13 2022.

Please contact me if you find it. 608.572.9281

By the way, that is an awesome winter route! Definitely worth a go! What could be better? Bag the peak, find my boot, and get paid!

How do you break in a new boot, AND lose it?
Maybe you were breaking in your foot?

Also, for a ~$900 boot, you don't want to go back and look for yourself?! When did you notice it was gone?

This post is confusing.

Responding to d_baker and LetsGoMets. I imagine the confusing thing is why weren’t the boots on my feet? Reason is because I skinned up and switched to mountaineering boots where the snow gets sparse above tree line. When I returned to the tree line and snow, I switched back to AT boots to ski down, and lost the mountaineering boot while skiing down. I realized the boot was missing when I arrived at the trailhead. I skinned back up as far as I could before dark and did not find it. But couldn’t make it up to where I likely lost the boot near tree line. I would go back and find it myself, however I don’t live in Colorado. So it isn’t feasible to return to find it. I realize it’s a long shot for someone to find it and return it to me before the weather destroys it, but will certainly be very grateful if the boot finds its way back to me, and will pay $200 for the boot in good condition.

Thanks for your review and consideration.

Take Care,
Graham

Apparently the boot was dropped off at Leadville outdoors according to Neptune's social media post
