if you want to do alpine or have small hands dont get the rages. I personal hate them . I have the alp wings and love them they are light and the wieght is in all the right spots unlike the heavy rages.. RAGES SUCK
Go down to Mountain Goat outfitters and they have a guide for all the local spots, there are alot in and around spokane, I just moved here recently to and have been happy with the close climbing areas
