I need a boot for summer mountaineering trip such as Shasta, Adams, etc. and a few late spring trips in the Sierra. Can't decide between this boot and the Trango Extreme Evo. Would this boot be sufficient since I won't be on overly cold trips or is the Extreme the way to go?

You won't be in cold places so this boot would be adequate and it is lighter and easier to walk in than the evo. Great all around boot for this stuff, BUT extended time on the snow and ice will be a little cold. For example I guided Rainier in them once, and it was just a little too cold of a boot for being on the ice all day, even in summer.
