Quick question. I am trying to climb Rainier and the Grand Teton this summer and am trying to figure out which boot would excel at both types of these climbs. I realize they are two different types of climbing, glacier and alpine rock, but what one boot would you suggest for this? I'm looking at these Trango Extreme's as well as the Salewa Raven Combi's.

I can't comment on the Salewa's but I used the Trangos to climb Rainier 2 summers ago and loved them. My feet didn't get cold and they were so much lighter and more comfortable than a double boot. I live in Alaska now and have used these in temps lower than you will find on Rainier in the summer. They are also great for ice climbing. Everyone is different but I think these boots are great.
