Over the past decade I’ve been using the Boots for on 90% of my backcountry missions with well over 1000 days of tedious climbing and doing everything I can to break down the boots to on avail.

Pikkuhiljaa sinne tuli enemmän … Read more
After failing our first attempt on summiting Adams Dan and Myself went back to finish what we started with plans of hitting the SW chutes. We made a early start at 2 AM at 6,000 feet and were at the lunch counter by sunrise
