i am about to purchase the Camino GTX myself. All of my research shows that this boot fits the bill for sept-oct hunts in the mountains and rocks. Along with packing out 50lbs or more with ease. I have been using the Salomon Ultra 4D GTX last 3 years. They are comfy , but are NOT WATERPROOF despite the lies to the contrary by the company. LOWA seems to have everything covered.
