Crampon Boot Questions

[illegalviking]

I just bought a pair of Grivel Air Tech Light Crampons. If I use plastic boots I will need to purchase the long flex bar so the crampons will fix the boots (I wear size 11.5). However I can fit my Danner Hiking boots into the crampons. Would advise or disuade me from use the Danners/crampon setup for a Hood Climb?

all-leather hiking boots would be fine for the south side of hood.

 

If you do a harder route that requires some front-pointing, you might want a stiffer boot.

 

I like your avatar image.

Thanks alpinfox. Your avatar is VERY NICE.. I was leaning towards using them. We are doing the South Side of Hood (most likely the old chute). I thought this setup would be OK, but with the conditions this year I was not sure. Thanks again. Wish you GREAT SUCCESS...

What's up with it, Vanilla face? Me and my homie Alpinfox just parked our slab outside. We're looking for somewhere to post up our Black asses for the night. So, uh, bang bang, skeet skeet, nigga. Just a couple of pimps, no hos.
