Regarding axes, I'd love to hear your opinion about the leightweight technical axes - mostly aobut Blue Ice Akilla.

Great video. Been a while since your last video. Hope you are doing well. Very interested to hear more about the Latok Mountain tent. There are almost no videos about this tent that I’ve found. Any chance you could do more in-depth video about this tent?

well done review. I'm pulling the trigger for one now.

well done... please do this every season.

Do you find having multiple layers, all with hoods, a little uncomfortable or inconvenient?

Thanks for the info on the company itself, I had no idea.

Excellent review and list

nice job

Thanks for this great video! The best real comparison I’ve found anywhere. I’m going to be doing some 6000+ metre volcano climbing in Bolivia next year and am struggling to find the right boot. Tried the Phantom 6000 HD in a 42 but I can feel the toes on my left foot barely touching the front which will be a problem on descent. I tried the 43 but my feet move around too much. They dont offer 1/2 sizes. Thinking I will try the G2 EVO. Any suggestions you have would be very much appreciated! Thanks

need trekking pole straps that accommodate those 8000 meter mits....any suggestions?.....thanks

Love all your videos!

Do you have a MountainProject profile?

Great review! I tried one on in a store and loved the lightweight minimalist design along with it’s high water and windproofness…just looking around for a good deal on one.. cheers!

Blue Ice Aero is a steel screw, not aluminum. I don't think there are any aluminum screws on the market that don't have steel teeth on the end.

Have you had experience with Rab Syndicate glove? I can't information anywhere. My favorite site has a pair I'm looking at on sale. Thanks

I climbed this in 2022 at age 66. Amazing experience but a very tough climb. It threw everything at us, heat and cold, fast water crossings in the dark and rock climbing. Very thick fog at White Pass. Some navigation at night. A big freakin 'shrund between the Suiattle and Cool glaciers at about 9,000'. Crossed a steep, icy snow bridge twice. Wouldn't trade the experience for anything! Also my last Washington volcano.

14:41 awesome job!

My man you sure have to put a lot of effort into getting laid 😂😂

This video is pretty helpful. I've been considering scrambling around the glacier as well.

HI! Thanks for the review, just wondering your advice, I'm planning to climb Mt Denali at the end of the month, do yo know if it is easy to buy these boots in Seattle or Anchorage? In my city there is no store where I can buy them and I would like to try them before muy them. Thank you!😘

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience !

Can you review Lowa Expert? How have these shoes performed over time?

SO WILD! I remember seeing this on a r/mountaineering post! and today I find a source video, haha! Awesome stuff, team, great work!

Just be careful

Clearly this is just a add for RAB gear! (sort of obvious i guess, so maybe i just missed the text or him honestly saying so?)

only 25 likes...ughh. what depth were you looking for when you planted your ice axe on the snow bridge?

Fantastic review and comparison, and much to my surprise you hit on the exact issue I'm struggling with - size. My feet (specifically my right foot) are a smidgen too big for Scarpa's 48, and they don't make a 49 in a lightweight boot. I recently had a chance to try on a Scarpa 6000 in a 49, and it was so damn comfy...given how impossible it is for me to find boots I considered it, but just standing in the shop for 15 minutes my feet were getting noticeably warmer by the second. It's simply too much boot for the PNW. Finding a 48 LS around Vancouver seems impossible, but your review gives me the confidence to order them online. Thanks again!

Awesome Video! What month was it?!!

There were no ladders in 1979 when I climbed it. Things are so much easier now.

Nice video, thanks! Thoughts on versatility? Wonder if I could take it rock climbing

I walked through stream with water above ankles and I stayed dry in g5 evo... just fyi

Any way to put bungee cord to strap crampon like a alpha fl from arcteryx ?

I wish Scarpa would have moved to BOA. That lacing system on Phantoms is dreadful. Never had issues with the system, but I do carry a spare all the time just in case. The opening is also very narrow and not the easiest to get in/out. The sole on G5 is certainly more durable. After 5 seasons is still life in mine. The waterproofing though is a let down. With the recent global warming and + temps when snow/ice starts to melt there is always moisture going in. I also prefer the fully stiff sole on G5. There is so much flex in the Phantom. I agree with the fit being more generous in G5, though I was expecting a tighter fit on the so called "technical fit" on Phantoms. If I could have the sole unit, fit, stiffness, insulation and BOA from G5 with the outer shell of a Phantom tech.. perfect boot for me.

I'm wondering how these would perform as a winter hiking boot. Not really for mountaineering, but hiking on flat and/or on steep trails up mountains (3000m) in Canadian Rockie, In below freezing temps. My winter boots aren't ideal for hiking. My backpacking boots are not big enough to wear a liner and a regular wool sock on top, so i need a dedicated winter hiking boot, that's a B2 for the times i do need crampons

Good review. It seems like a PNW biased review so that should be made clear because the advice given is not appropriate for the Rockies where dry cold snow and creek crossings are the norm.

I would advise against using solid gate carabiners for the simple reason that they can freeze shut making them hard to open. Wire gates dont freeze up. Just my opinion.

Would you recommend these for winter mountaineering (4000+ peaks)? Ive read mixed reviews of people claiming that they're not waterproof

Hey man what are your thoughts on using the Rab Tour Khroma Infinium as a go to in winter mountaneering(up to grade 3 gullys and lots of winter walking with plenty of rope work). Seems like its a step up in warmth from the Rab Velocity guide gloves and better wind protection. Coudl they be a go to 90 percent of the time glove for active work or too much?

No way! We didn't know you had a RUclips channel! We met you two in early 2023 on Baker when our tent blew away 🤣 Awesome video, looking forward to watching more!

hey thanks for the great video. Do you you have any opinion on the Rab Baltoro glove?

when will you make a new video?

What about Non-Stop Polar Arctic Votta mitts?

Would like to see a head to head with the la sportiva aequilibrium st

Do you only wear a base layer underneath this?? Like in the clip 1:06. Im thinking of the VR Summit, but I feel like I would be cold, and would need to wear an active fleece sweater underneath. Also, it doesn't seem durable.

Are you familiar with the Marmot Driclime? Was wondering if the Rab Vapour Rise Alpine Light has a similar liner, or if it is thinner or thicker than the Driclime? Thanks for any feedback.

Great video and I bought a pair of Velocity Guide and Guide 2 after seeing your review. I was confused between ME G2 Alpine Glove vs Velocity Guide and RAB Guide 2 vs BD Soloist but tilted in favour of the Guide 2 as they look neater, sleek and the fact that I couldn't find many review of the soloist. ME G2 Alpine were a bit costlier than Velocity Guide. A question - did you go to Denali? Really keen to hear about your experience and the gear that you used.

One twisted ankle and you’re toast.

Hi wanted to ask you about pushing limits on your rab bag...if you wear your down jacket and I assume pants?...what would you gain?...like 10 degrees?....and a bivy another 10?...thanks

Thank

I use a Mountain equipment Squall softshell, its a bit like the borealis, but has an offset zip.
