XXX Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I need help. I have been climbing in my Khoflac plastics for years now, and Im getting sick of their heavy nature. I am looking for a lightweight mountaneering boot. Right now here are my choices. 1) La Sportiva Glaciers 2) La Sportiva Evo GTX thats about it for now. Do these two boots take step in super 12 charlet moser crampons? Im not looking for anything more expensive then these boots. Tell me what you think thanks -T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 The LaSportiva Glacier is a great boot for general purpose mountaineering. It climbs rock well, is warm enough for 3 seasons in the Cascades, is stiff enough to kick steps in hard snow. Unfortunately, it won't take the front bail of a step in crampon, but REI has a deal on the Grivel AirTech crampon which is an ideal fit for this boot.

TrailPair Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I like my Sportiva Glaciers. They are a great all-round boot for back pakcing and genral mountaineering. The crampons I use with them are the Stubai ultra lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plinko Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'd go for the EVO's. They're heaps lighter than the Glaciers, and the last (foot form) is a little different and fits my foot better. Sierra Trading Post has last year's model (trango s) on closeout for $119 to your door (find 20% discounts and free shipping discounts at FatWallet.com). These ofcourse don't have the GTX liner, so they breathe better in the summer when it's dry, but they get wet when it's wet out. Good luck.

mtnmedic Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 My Montrail Moraines have taken me many miles. A tough boot that will last ya for some time IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
