Question for you guys and gals who barefoot it sometimes:
How's your traction on steep ledge? Think of ledges like Welch/Dickey only steeper. E.g. the Holt or Huntington Ravine. Do you feel like your feet are more or less likely to slip if you're barefoot?
How about if the ledge is wet?
It seems to me that when fording rocky streams, it is generally recommended that you take off your socks but leave the boots on and not go barefoot.
