Fuck, I'll second that.

Whisperlite!

REI Kilo Plus is a great bag for the money.

That's what I thought, too.

damn! he sucks ass! Bah! at least they're out there having fun. How long have you been AT skiing Cracked? Ummmm, six months by now......

Don't you want her to scratch more than your back?

RIP IT UP! LOL!

NO!

What do you think of this?

No, I don't like walking down trails in my ski boot...but I can if I have to without major pain. The discomfort has more to do with the high cuff and stiff sole than toe space. But whatever...IMHO, if the boot fits, you can easily hike and skin with it. Now all we need is snow.

God DAMN! that's bare compared to Sunday.

If you fit your AT boots like ski boots (i.e. snug - no toe room) there's no way you'll ever be comfortable on long approaches. Same with climbing shoes. Not enough room for the toes. Wear a pair of running/approach shoes for the hike in - way more comfy. I do wear running shoes on hikes when possible, but I have hiked quite a bit in my Denalis w/out pain. What are you going to do when you have to walk up frozen snow? Use crampons on your tennies? And for the record, my boots do fit snug; my toes almost touch the end of the boot when the buckles are snug. If you can't walk in your boots how are you going to boot up?

I've got the Denali XT, and I've hiked 5miles one way in them, worn them all day, skinned, and cramponed with them and in no way do they not hike or skin well. No, they aren't sneakers, but they'll work without pain. If you want to ski, get them and don't look back. If you want an approach setup to technical climbs, go with the Silvys and mountain boots. Remember, mountain boots don't ski worth shit. I don't know why people keep complaining that big AT boots don't hike; they do, and quite well.

Why are you always so cruel and spiteful, j_b? You make people feel bad all the time. I think you're mean. his gerbil got stuck.

Word. My life will never be the same.

Aren't those the mountain boots w/Dynafit attachments? They looks SWEET. Won't ski very well, though....

Can you cut and paste? It tells me to subscribe.

Except me! What is she, 15 by now? Even older?

Fuck no she isn't.

Nope, he just bent over like he was shitting bricks. We both suck.

I really didn't need to see that, Erik. Where's that vomit graemlin?

Yep, twas fun. I took a video of Jeff: RIP IT UP!

scott- little cracked couldn't push my buttons if i put his finger right on them. it's like watching little puppies frolic, it's cute until they pee on the carpet; then you have to rub their noses in it. he'll pee down his leg soon enough.
