I'm heading down to zion next week to climb for a week. I'm flying in and meeting a friend who is going to bring me a sleeping bag an most other basics that i/we need, but I have super limited space for my own stuff on the plane (only 1 carry on) for gear ect. So far i have my basic personal gear (harness, smart alpine, helmet, shoes) some basic clothes and my chacos. Not sure if i should wear my approach shoes or my hiking boots (vasque breezes) on the plane as i don't have enough space for both. Thoughts on which to bring? Route suggestions? General beta on what to bring with limited space?

Why do you think you'd need the boots?

What type of routes?

Just thought i might need them with the cold nights and hiking to the cliffs, wasn't sure if i would want something with some more support if the hike in/approach was long and scrambly

Routes: generally what we can free (10s and below) with maybe a bit of aid, longer the better

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
