Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro GTX

Top quality boots from Scarpa, as always

Haven’t had a chance to test these out yet, but they seem really solid, very insulated so a fairly snug fit.

Battered and bruised

Boots are good, fit my crampons well, haven’t really needed breaking in. Size up 1 was good advice. Package (shoe box) was well travelled and tatty, which isn’t the best as the returns policy says I can’t return if it’s damaged. Other items had been stuffed inside with boots. I get it as it’s part of the green bit to reduce packaging so this I can live with. From the looks of the boots I’m not the first person to try them on, and subsequently there was a compression mark (dent) on the rand of the left boot. Either from storage or transit after incorrect packing in the box. Thought about returning, but needed them for a trip so chose to accept it. Probably shouldn’t have on such an expensive item. Time will tell if the mark becomes a failure point. Overall though the boots are good.

Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro GTX + Black Diamond Sabretooth Pro

Used the same rented model for mountaineering and climbing in -15*C, was very warm, now time to get my own one. No problems, excellent boots. Excellent fit with Black Diamond Sabretooth Pro crampoons
