I am asking for opinions on Hiking clothing and equipment for high elevations on Mountains and Glaciers:
The situation is my 16 year old daughter got selected, as one of 9 girls across the U.S., to spend 10 days at a Science/Outdoor skills camp on Mount Baker studying glaciers.
The packing list is a little daunting.
But can anyone suggest the best quality boots for such an adventure, also what kind of high quality rain gear. She has a good start on the rest of the clothing but I want to be sure of her foot wear and rain gear. The group emphasizes these are very very important.
The program is called girls on ice

Any advice or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
