La Sportiva Spantik vs Baruntse in South America for three months. Which are the better boots? I'm thinking in terms of warmth and the long rocky/moraine/snow less approach common in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Real. Spantik costs $100 and I'm trying to figure out why. Both are advertised as 6,000-7,000m boots and perform well on technical ground. I have been using my Koflach Expe all these years but I think it is time to cough up a little (a lot) of $$$ for a nice pair of techy double boots.
Have at it.
