Boots and Backpacks

The two most important items you’ll be buying are your boots and your backpack. Both have to be a perfect fit or you’ll find yourself in pain throughout your entire trip. We’ve got a full array of backpacks, including internal frame backpacks, external frame backpacks, lightweight backpacks and packs with watering systems. When choosing a pack, make sure you get one that fits your torso length. Try it on and wear it for a while before taking it out on a climb to make sure that it really does fit well.

Boots that don’t fit perfectly can turn your trip into an adventure in torture. Going by manufacturers’ size isn’t enough because boot styles vary. We carry a full range of mountaineering boots in all sizes and styles so that you’re assured of finding the perfect fit for your feet.
