its interesting to see that you do not recommend scarpa phantom 6000 but you do recommend Arcteryx Acrux AR. I love my Acrux but I thought that they were to cold for Aconcagua.
Hi Max,
I have a question about what to do with the double boots during the night. After day of hiking what to do with the boots in the tent to avoid problems with moisture. Should I put the inner boot out, use some dryer, put them in to the sleeping bag etc. or just open the boots and let them dry out naturally?
What about the olympus mons. Planing to do the 7 summits
