Boots again ... In Ecuador
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 3:13 am
Hi all,
First post ...
I will be in Ecuador to climb the higher volcanoes in January and have boot questions. I currently own and love a pair of La Sportiva Trango Extreme GTX. I believe the consensus would be that they aren't quite warm enough for the 6,000m peaks over there. Here in the North East, they've brought me through some very long and cold days without a problem so because I trust them and feel comfortable in them, I'd prefer to use those.
The question: Would using them in combination with the Forty Below K2 Superlight overboots bring them to a warmth level judged acceptable?
Thanks for any input.
Mike.
