La Sportiva Trango Tower Extreme GTX Review

The lightweight mountaineering boot can be an incredibly useful tool for mountaineers who like to enjoy all four seasons and for climbers who's main focus is the rock climbing but like to get out in the mountains occasionally. Both of those groups will be rewarded by this boot's low weight and comfortable hiking performance. It also climbs reasonably well overall, with an above average showing at mixed climbing and dry tooling and on rock without crampons. In many ways, this boot reminds us of Scarpa's excellent but now-discontinued Rebel Pro. For the above reasons and its low price (for a mountaineering boot), we've honored the La Sportiva Trango Tower Extreme GTX with our Best Buy Award.
