I am in the process of coming up with a gear list for things I will need for Denali 2010 and I am at a quandary as to what boots I should use.
I have a pair of old >10yrs koflach double boots that i thought I could maybe pair with some 40 below overboots. first question...would this be sufficient enough? I have been eying the spatniks for a while now and really like what I see and have heard. If i dropped the money for those would they be warm enough without overboots?
Finally i would like to bring skis rather than snowshoes. My koflaches clip in to my AT bindings and I am assuming i could clip the spatniks into them also. However skiing downhill in boots rather than at boots is barely doable and I am a little nervous on anything steep especially if hauling a sled behind me. Therefore I have been thinking about the option of using my at boots paired with overboots. Would this be a. warm enough and b. miserable for the uphill? Curious as to what other people on skis have done.
