My full review
I bought the La Sportiva Trango Alp GTX boot when I moved Seattle so that I would have a lightweight boot to climb in the Cascades. The boot is technically a 3 season alpine climbing boot but I have been seriously impressed so far. I have not taken the boot out in winter yet but I have attempted to climb Rainier twice with the Trango Alp and they have performed flawlessly.

nice.The Gore Tex liner is not as water proof as claimed, but not as bad as other liners.
The main gripe I have is that the laces need to be tied in a double knot, or they like to untie them selves pretty quickly. My Nepal Extremes do this too, so maybe it's a Sportiva thing.
