Thankfully zipper broke in the parking lot
I was so excited for these boots, bought them for an early season Rainier climb, wore them around to break them in with no issues... However the zipper broke in the parking lot before the climb. We used pliers to reassemble it, but the zipper kept splitting anyways.
