Casual ice climber dilemma
|
So I went ice climbing twice this year, which is probably the first time in about 4 years. I wasn't doing it much before that. Lets say 10-12 days on the ice during the Obama presidency. |

A few days a year are better than nothing! There have been a few different boots on Sierratradingpost recently. The ever-ongoing 25% off promos apply to some but not others. Not sure how they'll compare to the Freney but might be worth checking out. |

Same thing happened to me 2 years ago, my feet fattened up along with rest of me. I bought these, coming from Freney's as well. They are wider and pretty comparable to Nepal or Mont Blanc's, not as nimble as the Freney's. I like em. |

I'm guessing you have the old blue leather Freneys? The "new" Freney is the synthetic Freney XT. I have a pair (love 'em) and they run wide. I think I read somewhere that they are built wider than the leather Freneys. I see them from time to time lightly used for under $200. |

"my feet are pretty much unacceptably cold now in my boots from lack of circulation.' |
|
I still have plastic boots and rigid Rambo crampons that I used last weekend in CCC. |
|
Could probably find a used pair of plastic boots for cheap. |
