Ice boots

Postby Murph » Tue Feb 19, 2008 8:20 pm

After my adventures at ice school this past weekend, I am considering a pair of ice boots. I found a pair of La Sportiva Eigers that would fit me on the MEC gear swap but they are more of a "summer mountaineering" boot. Would they suffice for ice??

I'd recommend you hold out for full on ice boots.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

No.
Proper winter boots, or we'll be calling you "Stubbs".
