Vasque Radiator Mountaineering Boot - Men's
October 21, 2009
how much support do these give? i'm looking for a good double boot for snowboard mountaineering, capable of decent ice climbing feel, but have been discouraged by the thickness of the sole under the heel of boots like the nupste, nepal evo gtx, and the baruntse. i would rather not be seperated from the deck of my board by another 2 inches anyone have any suggestions?

does this screw have the tapered inner core like the BD screws to reduce ice clogging inside the shaft?

Scarpa F3 Alpine Touring Boot
July 2, 2009
i'm currently working on some mods that could seriously improve the down. removing the tung, cutting away plastic on the side for more lateral flex while riding, and drilling out the metal plate that locks the forward lean into place... this way the forward lean would be locked forward but still allow further forward flexion. it would make it a lot closer to a snowboard boot with a highback binding. even with out the mods i'm impressed, and enjoy riding in them, but with them i'm sure i'll be very impressed....i do wish there were no bellows though, they suck on steep climbs

the bellows flex, which shortens the sole length and therefore makes you boot very likely to release from the fritche bindings
