To match the alpine's extreme conditions, we outfit our feet with La Sportiva's TC Extreme Shoe. The protective gaiter's water-repellent exterior and fleecy interior armor our feet against the icy wet air emanating from deep within the crack, while the mid-height internal collar helps pad our ankles against the rock. Wrapped with Vibram's sticky XS Grip2 rubber, this shoe delivers consistent bite no matter how frigid it gets.
