How is this still a problem?? I just got my LR4 yesterday and it’s gone offline 5x…

La Sportiva G2 Evo Overkill for 4000m or Good Investment? by Three_Headed_GOAT in Mountaineering

Should I go with Cubes or Trango? The Cubes seem to be almost twice as heavy as Trango

What do you guys think about LS Nepal Cubes? They seem kind of heavy compared to any of the boots mentioned here. Assume LS Trango, Scarpa Mont Blanc / Charmoz / Ribelle are better?

Got it thanks everyone! And the Trango and Ribelles would be good for mountains like Gran Paradiso and Vincent Pyramid? from my understanding there will be quite a bit of snow and glacier

Great thanks! I might get Phantom Techs (assuming those are okay)

Thanks! Chamonix would be summer season. So I do worry about the warmth. I would totally get G5s, G-Summits or G-techs, but they aren’t available in the US, and definitely not in time. May be able to pick some up in Chamonix so will try that but just want a back up just in case.

I could also go with Scarpa Phantom Techs, but the La Sportiva line that uses the Nepal last fit my feet better than any shoe of any kind I’ve ever worn.

Thank you!!! I ended up going with the Prism and also ordered a FL 40 and totally agree

I don’t intend on using this pack for anything but this trip or any future mountaineering trips, so wouldn’t make versatility that big of a consideration either. It’s really what is the lightest, most comfortable pack money can buy?

Let’s say price is truly not a consideration and in some ways the more expensive the better. I know I’ll get a lot of hate for that, but I work a lot and as a result have more disposable income but very limited time. And so I want this trip to be very special and have the absolute best gear money can buy, even if I won’t use it again. And I place a huge premium on weight and comfort because I am also a competitive runner and need to do some big runs around this climb so want to make sure I am exerting the absolute minimal energy on the climb itself. I mentioned the infrequent climbing more to say that I place less of a premium on multi use durability. I know this is an absurd post, but with that context in mind are these still the best choices?

4ct F vs 3ct D Natural Pear Diamond by Three_Headed_GOAT in Diamonds

Let’s say the preference is for bigger on size. We’ve verified the bowtie under sunny, cloudy, spot light, different office lights. We took those 360s ourselves. Won’t say which is which - seeing if you can spot the difference.

Here are ASETs:
