climbbird Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I have the following choices for a bugs trip the end of July. Montrail CTC Mid Goretex. Pros, light, climb well. Cons, not too comfortable with strap crampons, harder to kick steps. Mad Rock Mtns. Better for snow, but heavy and not great for climbing. Will be sticking to moderate classic routes up to 5.7. If both of these suck and there is a "Perfect" boot, I may shell out the dough... Any input would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 There will still be a lot of snow this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndavidjr Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I brought some rock shoes in which I don't/can't wear socks...weather turned very cool for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I was picturing six tiny little boots... For the weight of the options you mentioned, you might just go with Scarpa Charmoz or the equivalent - they climb snow/moderate rock pert good and are about as versatile as you can get.
