Wearing hiking boots and warm socks are essential items for taking your climb to the top.
PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR FEET:
Liner socks (2 pair)
A super-thin wicking sock that repels moisture. Liner socks help to reduce the likelihood of blisters. The socks should be thin wool, nylon, or Capilene®. NO COTTON.
Patagonia- Ultra Lightweight, Hiking Crew Socks
Bridgedale- Liner sock
Hiking Socks (2 pair)
Your everyday sock, good for day hikes, trekking, and in-town. NO COTTON.
Patagonia: Midweight Hiking Crew Socks
Bridgedale: Endurance Trekker
Warm Socks (2 pair)
A wool synthetic blend. Pure rag wool socks are not nearly as effective in wicking moisture or retaining their shape and reducing blisters. NO COTTON.
Bridgedale: Endurance Summit
Patagonia: Ultra HW Mountaineering Socks
Hiking Boots
These light to mid-weight boots are for every day use. The ideal boot is comfortable enough to wear for days and scrambles decently on rock. A Gore-tex lined boot often stays drier when hiking in rain or snow.
Montrail: Torre GTX™
Sportiva: Thunder II GTX
Gaiters
GORE-TEX® or Schoeller® calf-high, durable gaiters are recommended. VELCRO® calf-closure is preferred.
Outdoor Research: Crocodiles® Gaiters

Hello,
I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding online promotion and SEO since I just opened up an sport blog with a couple of buddies.
The information offered on your site would be of great value to our visitors, and I believe, your visitors would find great value in our site. Because our two websites are complementary rather than competitive, I see synergy here as an opportunity for our mutual benefit and I’d really like to exchange links with you. Have a look at our website if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our sites can benefit from one another.
Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts with you – keep up the good work and get back to me if interested!
