I’ve had a pair of Danner Elk Hunters for 15 yrs+. I don't use them for real mountains as I have Scarpas for that. However, for the usual Western terrain in MT and CO I’ve used the Danners - 400 gram Thinsulate - and like how they work. Good for the plains and occasional use in steeper terrain, but they are not intended to be real mountain and rock boots. My soles are pretty worn but still good enough of occasional use.
Kennetreks are probably a better bet for steep terrain. I haven’t used them but saw my guide on a tough BC goat hunt use them last year - they work. I had my Scarpas and was glad for them.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
