My boi I started backpacking, and just signed up with a climbing gym so that I can eventually begin conquering mountains. Thank you for the advice

The boots you have look amazing, and I would be getting myself a pair, but for summer. I use trail runners for the majority of my hikes after moving away from my backpacking boots as my hikes are not technical (don't require gear), and Im not trying to get into full on mountaineering. But, I am looking for a good set of winter boots for hiking in winter. I do have Petzl crampons, that are strap on and can be replaced with a clip in the front/back, so I am set - I bring them in case its a bit steep, but its not a piece of gear I would use often as Im not trying to be a mountaineer. Its when my microspikes are just not enough.... But, I just need a good warm pair of boots as I get really cold feet.

Great information! Just curious, do you know of any resources for finding other people to go on climbs with? I'm doing a hike class in Washington next year and I suspect I'll meet people there. But any others?

Hey, thanks! Besides the PNW Mountaineers FB page, try going to the Mountain Project website and look in their partner forum. I've found partners by either searching or posting myself. Hope that helps!

If you are in the Puget Sound area, consider joining the Mountaineers and taking their Basic Climbing Course. It is the best training you can get.

As a splitboarder who sends big steep shit I have worn very soft boots for 20 years now and I won’t ever give em up. Just test ur crampons fit well (pretzel are the ones I personally found the best). Make sure ur boots sinch down enough to avoid sloppy foot in boot tho

Grivel also has a wide version of their G10 crampon that a lot of snowboarders use ("G10 wide"). They work great with my size 11 thirty two focus boas (9/10 stiffness), although I have to use them on the largest setting.

@carl8568 2 ай бұрын

I've got the Grivels in the G10 new classic. They strap on really well to a rigid B1 leather hiking boot without the toe or heel welts.

@user-cn6nc7jq8o 7 ай бұрын

Hi, not sure whether the two ropes are hung will its full weight just over 1 string but if you store them that way over long time, that part of the rope may lose flexibility. Better storing them laying flat or when hung then over all strings.

Question: Which mountains in Oregon are most similar in difficulty to Mt. Shasta in Northern California?

@ChadLubinski 5 ай бұрын

Hmm good question. I'm not sure if they're very comparable since Shasta is a 14er and the highest mountain in Oregon is Hood at 11,249. Shasta is an extremely long day (which is why it's most common for people to do it in two days), whereas all the mountains in Oregon are completed in 3/4ths a day. I would say the 14ers in Colorado would be most comparable

La sportiva Nepal cube boots, Grivel G20 or 22 crampons, Petzl Ergo ice axes. Skip the mid range products and get the best of the best and they will take you everywhere and anywhere. Everything else is preference of fit and function but these will be the crème de la crème.

Some people earn like 1000 bucks or less a month and would still like to climb. You forget about them. Not everyone can afford the highest of the highest from the get-go, some people have to build up to it, starting with cheaper, second hand options.

That boots are awfully cold and awfully easy to lose crampon. Though a minute before showing boots, you showed yourself traversing 40% glacier incline in sneakers. Call me impressed.

Something I forgot to mention during the video is that yes, you must wear gloves and long sleeves/pants in snow! The guy that slide down that glacier that I showed before wasn't, and got severe abrasions down his legs and on his hands...which is also probably why he couldn't self arrest!
