Headed to Grandfather Mountain on Halloween weekend. I have been forewarned that it could be some kind of cold up there at that time and possibly even some snow. I'm excited. However... I saw on the map to the trails we'll be trekking, there will be some ladders and cables for climbing as part of the adventure. I'm good with that but want to make sure we have the right type of gloves for that. I don't want my hands to be eaten up (as I will be hoisting some serious weight) and I don't want the gloves to ripped up immediately, and warmth is always a plus.
Who knows the perfect gloves for this type of thing? I have some flock lined suede leather ones already, but they are more cosmetic than work gloves I think. So do we go hard leather work gloves with some kind of liner maybe or will fleece work just as good as any???
As usual... pour your wisdom on me please.
