News of Gear

so I am ready for some new boots. I am moving to Asheville, NC and will be hiking, camping, rock climbing, winter hiking, ice climbing(if I can find the southern ice), so I need to get a good new set of boots since my old pair are shot.

Anyone have anything they'd like to part with?

Thoughts?

Reading some nice things about the Vasque Radiator, and I certainly like the price vs. the Spantiks.

I've been looking at sleeping bags long enough and spend many a cold night because I hadn't decided yet. With winter coming closer every day, I've decided that it's time to finally buy one.

Can't however decide what I want/need. I obviously want something that'll be able to do whatever I throw at it. But what am I going to do? Aconcagua, Elbrus, plenty of winter camping in the Alps, Denali, ... who knows! Valandere ...

A lightweight synthetic puffy with hood, lighter and warmer than the Patagucci Micropuff. Weighs about 11oz and compresses to the size of a soda can. Brand new and never worn as a little too small for me. Asking $130 shipped to lower 48 (MSRP $170).
