Weird, my big thing was that Z Coils with a kilt would be too much. I did have the same fear hiking in Z Coils initially but have found in the field that they actually give you a second chance. When I start to slip, if I'd been in regular boots or shoes I'd probably twist an ankle. Them Z Coils actually slow down the slip and give me time to recover - a second chance. But, around here, you're wise to be leary of sandstone - aka "Slick Rock."
Cliffside hiking in a kilt probably does have one disadvantage...if you slip the kilt flys up and obscures your last scenic view of Earth as you fall to your death.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
