looking for some advice and input. Mostly been mountaineering in the summer around the cascades and thinking of going for gib ledges on Mt. Rainier this winter. I have la sportiva g5 evo boots, and am wondering if overboots are a good call and/or sufficient for that kind of outing.


thanks!

The G5 is not sufficient, you want a double boot. Adding an over boot would be sufficient
