How much longer does it last in the winter time. The different lighting levels seem like they would be good but it looked like the light does not last as long. I would only use it for one night events so I don&#39;t know if it is worth the upgrade. I have a different headlamp now but I am looking for one that has a focused beam as well. question_137180 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:14:16 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/La-Sportiva-Katana-Climbing-Shoe/LSP0003M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137160#question_137160 La Sportiva Katana Climbing Shoe<br /><br />I wear and 8.5 in Evolv Evo and 5.10 Coyote.

Due to the aggresive curve of the boot, the inside point of the crampon (under the ball of your foot) is outside the line of the boot, leading to easy catching when your exhausted at the end of the day, and the outside point (under the ball of your foot) being too far under your foot leading to rolling off the outside of your crampon easily, esp downhill traversing.<br />just wondering if the cyborg is curved enough for this boot to stop this problem, or whether to try a petzl crampon. question_135394 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:17:43 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-Nut-Shell-High-Gaiter-Mens/MHW0039M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135321#question_135321 Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell High Gaiter - Men's<br /><br />Write your question here..
