La Sportiva Trango Extreme Evo Light GTX Boot - Men's
Summer Mountaineering Boot
By Joshua Keith
Ranked #211 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
December 10, 2008
I've climbed in La Sportiva K4S, Koflach Verticals, Degrees, Invernos, and Scarpa Alpha's. This boot excels in warm weather technical exploits. It handled the long approach to Gannet Peak fairly well. On the mountain the boot is light, nimble and warm. If the temperatures dipped below 20 degrees I wouldn't want to spend much time standing around in it... that's not really what the boot is designed for. If you want cold temperature performance, this is not your boot. If you have a narrow foot and want a precise crampon compatible boot, this boot will serve you well. If you have a wider foot consider the Aku Spyder.

Rob - have you used it winter camping or mountaineering up Washington or anything other than straight ice climbing?

This boot is much more than a summer boot, I wear it ice climbing all winter in New Hampshire. It's also done fine climbing in Ouray, Bozeman, and Canmore in the winter.
