Dulton Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Does anyone use the Trango Extreme S boots or know anything about em'? Thinking about getting a pair for technical climbing and maybe some glacier slogs like Rainier, but want a boot that can make the transition to mixed rock and ice routes too so i need a little bit of ankle flexibility. From what I've read and heard so far these boots sound really awsome. Any comments, complaints or praises?? Thanks for the beta! Quote
Rainier_Wolfscastle Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 the Trango extreme is great for ice/mixed climbing. Not to bulky, plenty of ankle flexibilty, and fits just about every type of crampon. If you have the $, you may want to check out the Trango Comp also. My buddy has these and they are rediculously light. Either one will work OK for alpine, as long as it is not super cold, and you are on the move most of the time. Quote
Attitude Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 La Sportivas suck because they are too narrow in the toe box. At least for me, anyway. Quote
IceIceBaby Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I got mine late January and got 3 weekends of ice climbing and approaches with them three words… they are GREAT!!! …If they fit go for them Quote
bDubyaH Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 my buddy wore a pair for 10 days in little switzerland, ak. they worked great and if you lay down some duct tape between the toe box and where your gators end they stay a bit dryer if the glacier is getting slushy. Quote
fishstick Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 If you know anyone who wants to buy a pair of Trango Extremes, I'd love to dump mine. They're 42.5 or 43 (8 3/4 -9), and fit just a bit too small. Little use due to the sizing issue. PM me. Cheers, GB Quote
