You are listening to the Enormo Cast.

To quote old headless Ned Stark,

Winter is coming, and you know what that means.

Yes, it's time to unblock the number of that buddy who was still calling you to climb ice in June last summer and give in to your desire to scream and barf at the same time.

Yes, ice climbing season is upon us,

and though your fingers are destined to be both frozen and burning at the same time,

your feet don't have to suffer so.

Sportiva has a full line of big mountain boots technical ice climbing boots

and boots that do nearly everything you'd want in the cold cold mountains short of

apologizing for carrying you up there in the first place. So if you must bash your feet against ice and snow,

then check out Sportiva's newly redesigned website sportiva.com

or your nearest high-end outdoor retailer for a ridiculously well-made mountain boots, including such

legends as the spantic and the new Trango Cube GTX.

And remember, when you support Sportiva, you support the normal cast.

Winter is coming.

shit you need and get the Norma Cass a little something as well.
