Triple-jumper expelled from team

I'm a runner and a breast cancer survivor. What's the best breast-cancer-awareness-branded running gear?

I just recently got into mountaineering and assing all the gear needed to pursue my different interests. I have a lot of the basics and now its time to get some boots. I need a four-season boot for both general mountain travel and technical ice.

Much more appealing would be a single pair of boots that could do all three. Does such a boot exist? If not, can I get away with two pairs of boots?
