"I am a lifetime La Sportiva loyalist, however, the Trango Prime fell short on performance in my opinion.

This spring on an attempt on the Liberty Ridge, Rainier I spent three days in this light, tough, comfortable, yet stiff boot. The problems began a few short hours after beginning my approach up the snow field."
