Outside Magazine just gave a positive review for Salomon's Proton Mid GTX. They seem pretty light for a mountaineering boot, but they have them listed as a good peak-bagger. Any users among you?

Would the Tango S work for Rainier and Shasta type climbs? I'm a true beginner who just got back from Rainier and the very heavy plastic boots I rented were killers for me. I'd love to be able to get away with a much lighter and more comfortable leather/gortex version. How about the Raichle All-Degree Lite GTX? Anybody used those?
