In the fishing world they have these: korkers.com/footwear/fishin…

Is there anything like this for climbing(particularly ice and snow)? If not how feasible would it be to have a boot like that for climbing sports? With options for Yak Trax type soles up to crampons.

I've seen something like that on alpine touring ski boots, but not climbing boots. I'm not sure what you'd gain over the usual lugged sole + optional creepers or crampons.

More potential for failure, minimal or non-existent gain.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
