First Mountaineering/Ice Climbing Boot
|
Can anyone lend some advice on shopping for a first winter boot? I'm looking to start ice climbing this winter and do some technical winter ascents. I've been shopping around a little bit but still not exactly sure what I'm looking for. Needs to be crampon compatible and I am hoping to spend really no more than $350, but price won't be the deciding factor. Any help?! |

A used pair of Nepal Evos will get you far! |

Fit is key. |

I'll second the Sportiva Nepals. I use them for ice climbing, couloirs, winter peaks, rainier, pretty much everything |
|
I also put in a vote for the Nepal Evo's, I have used them for everything from ice climbing down to 0 degrees, to mountaineering in North Cascades in the Summer (a little warm, but do able) and everything in between. Well worth the investment if they fit your foot right. |
