I am trying to decide between these and the masherbrum. I am headed for Aconcauga. Cold and high altitude (23,000ft), but not always a lot of snow. Not a technical climb. Thanks

Bill, i'll tell ya what i told odin, if your doing serious climbing you may want to look else where, they are warm but finger tips will get very cold.

The Masherbrum Mitts will be warmer than the Absolute Zeros. Not as much weather protection... but warmer. I would take the Masherbrums to Aconcagua if I were you. Hope this helps!
