Hi, I'm planning a 5 day/4 night climbing trip in Scotland this winter and need boot advice. I won't be on anything over grade 3 so I don't need a super technical boot, but if I have plans to do more technical trips in the future so I'm thinking a B3 boot is still the way to go. Since I'll be camping, a double boot seems to make sense so I can dry out the liners at night, but would they be overkill for Scottish winter temps? Are La Sportiva Baruntses (so expensive!) or Scarpa Omegas (stiff plastic!) the wrong boots for a trip that will have lots of flat trekking in between the gullies and ridges? Will I be regretting single boots like a Scarpa Mont Blanc on day three when my boots are blocks of ice that just won't thaw out from a night in my sleeping bag? I have big wide feet and a limited boot selection at the shops near me so this has been a confusing internet research project for far too long.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
