After hiking Mt Chocorua NH this past March, I decided I wanted to do winter ascents of some ME & NH 4K footers this coming winter. The first & foremost piece of gear I needed for that were mountaineering boots. Today I headed to a store in N. Conway NH called International Mountain Equipment, and after spending an hour or so in there walked out with a pair of Asolo Alta Via GV. I've never had boots feel so comfortable from the instant I put them on as these did, and they're very easy to walk in thanks to the rocker. Once fall gets here I'll pick up crampons & an ice axe, and hopefully have as many pic-worthy trips to share here as my crazy winter work schedule will allow.

Looks like you are getting ready to fly up El Capitan to catch up with Captain Kirk....

Those reminded me more of ski boots.

Hmm... I thought this was a Game of Thrones thread for a moment.

I could dig a GoT winter.
