Hi Jim, how's it going? 

Not familiar with those Clarions. I have the Sundowners - don't know if they're
similar. The Sundowners are a pretty good boot for me and give me plenty of
support. 

Doug (also on CDT-L) recently purchased a pair of Leki poles but only wanted one
pole. I always hike with a stick so I agreed to split the pair with him. I
really liked it compared to my old trusty wooden stick. Now I'm hot to borrow
the other pole from Doug to try using two ;-)

Doug, when you're not looking ....

Ps. In case any of you don't know me... I'm an AT section hiker from the Atlanta
area. I help Ryan Brooks manage the AT-L list. Geek by trade...but normal
otherwise.
