Hey all, I'm looking for advice on getting a set of boots for scottish winter climbing (easy - mid grade stuff).
So far I've used a set of Manta Techs from Scarpa. I've had these for a couple of years, I've done a fair bit of scottish winter hillwalking and a bit of climbing with them, and a couple of months in the Alps. I've found the fit good for hillwalking and boshing about, but I've realised they're just too big (size wise) for me - I get loads of heal lift when font pointing. Borrowed my mates Nepal Extremes which were a couple of sizes smaller today and they worked so much better - tighter fit, and being b3s felt way nicer to climb in - so now I'm looking to invest in a set of b3s.
Anyone got any reccomendations? Looking for something warm as I get freezing cold feet, and as good value and long lasting as possible. Nepal Extremes, or Scarpa Mont Blancs seem like the obvious choices? Would mostly be used for Scottish Winter, but a bit of Alps stuff too.
Looking forward to hearing your reccomendations!
