vsigler Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi Everyone: My 13 year-old son will be climbing with me next summer for the first time. We will probably do something like Mt. Hood's South Side route. I really don't want to drop $300 on boots that he will certainly outgrow in less than a year, so does anyone have a suggestion for a boot that is economical, warm, and stiff enough to take a crampon? I used a pair of LaSportiva Makalus for years and had great success but I think those might be a little heavy for him. I love my Trango Alps, but they are definitely too expensive for a boot that will be used a handful of times, at most. Any suggestions? Thanks.

DPS Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Too many good choices to mention, but I would suggest checking out Second Ascent. Good deals on lightly used boots to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
