Thanks for all the advice guys, I really appreciate it. I'll be sure to take this into consideration.

 

When I bought the boots, I planned to use them for scrambling, I wasn't into climbing yet. They work great for that! But I'm now set up to buy a pair of plastics next time I'm in Leavenworth, so that should be a big help. I'll also get to use my old Salewa crampons that are more designed for ice climbing and see if they are any better than G-12s.

I'm getting really spoiled by these little babies:

They aren't cheap, but they are the best. I have two of them, and keep them in my pockets when winter climbing, or in my mittens when skiing. They run 24+ hours on a full tank of lighter fluid. They are so hot you have to keep them in their little wool sleeves or they will burn your skin. They seem to warm up the whole body when kept in pants pockets. They've been around since before world war 1. The chemical packs are lame in comparison.
