Check out single boots like the Lasportiva Evo or the G5. If you need a double the G2 climbs great. Scarpa has a similar line up for wider feet. Happy new year!
just curious, why so many different pairs of gloves/mittens? And which ice tools do you prefer? I ask because my brother and I are getting into mountaineering now (taking classes, tackling easy summits and climbing around us when possible). But, we could use some direction, as Mt Washington's pinnacle gully is a goal of ours. And thanks for the video!
Welcome to the club! So. Gloves. Doesn’t matter what you buy and what the manufacturer states. You’ll find that gloves wet inside or outside. Best to carry a few pair - all different thickness. An approach pair. Lead pair. Belay pair. Etc. Mitts are for alpine emergency. Also. If you drop a glove it’s nice to have extra. Extra gloves = Cheap insurance. Climbers love to talk about their favorite gloves. Hope that helps.
What boots are you using these days. Sloppy Koflachs dont seem like theyre gonna cut it

Is that a prototype pack? Thanks for the video!
Yes. Savage Mountain Gear “Jackpot 40”. You can find them on Facebook. Hope to see a release soon.
@@MattyBowman I Googled "Savage Mountain Gear" and nothing came up. Just curious what they have to offer.
Do you carry any avalanche gear? Beacon, shovel and probe?
When traveling in avalanche terrain, yes. The day this was shot there was no hazard.

@@MattyBowman absolutely! thank you! I think I need a few more gloves now. Thanks again!
What brand of "screamer" draw is that? Looks somewhat different than the ones I've seen in the past.
It’s made by Charlet Moser/Petzl.
