Sweet Boot

Asolo Khumbu GV Backpacking Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 4, 2012

Although I haven't put many miles on my Khumbu's yet, I've been very pleased with them. They felt great without having to break them in. They kept the water out and provided great support. I wore them on a "supposed-to-be-casual" moonlight ascent of the Naked Lady Couloir in Silverton, CO than turned a little epic. The performed great alone, through mud, with strap on crampons, and in snowshoes.

Asolo Distance Approach Shoe - Men's

Asolo Distance Approach Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 4, 2012

Both my wife and I love our Distance shoes. They work great for soloing easy rock climbs, and on difficult rocky uneven terrain. They are fairly stiff and heavy giving them a boot feel in a sneaker package. When I'm on terrain that my feet will get punished on, I'll wear my Distances. I usually wear out shoes quite quickly and the
Distances last a long time, despite the abuse I give them. They'd be a good big wall shoe as well as standing in aiders for long periods is not an issue.

My new go to Ice Pant

Outdoor Research Cirque Softshell Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 11, 2012

When I got my Cirque Pants this year, I quickly forgot about almost all of my other winter climbing pants. They seem to be the right amount of stretch, thickness and durability. These will work great for climbing ice or alpine rock (in cooler temps).

Great Climbing Jacket

Outdoor Research Axiom Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 11, 2012

I recently used my Axiom on an big wall ice climbing expedition in Alaska. It's a lighter weight minimalist jacket that has good stretch to it for also being waterproof. The hood is fairly large so it's best to be wearing a helmet with it, but there's a drawcord adjustment for that. Seems as though the sizing on this one is slightly large in comparison to OR's line. I think it's a good choice for ice climbing and alpine rock climbing. It's light enough to take on a long rock climb to protect potential incoming weather. I would give it 5 stars if it had pit zips, but that's just my personal preference as I like those.
