I am going to be moving out to WA in the spring and would like to climb Rainier while I live there. I need advice on boots for the mountain. I would like these boots to also be able to pull double duty for winter climbing in CO where I am from since I won't live in WA forever. Does anyone have advice on boots, either plastics or leathers, that are not too expensive and will serve my purpose? I appreciate the advice and help. I am already thinking that I will get BD Contact Strap crampons for use with these boots since I can also use them for early summer climbs in CO when the peaks are still snow capped with my regular leather boots. Due to this please suggest boots that can utilize these or this style of crampons. Thanks again.
