Im leaving for Switzerland next week to attempt the Matterhorn. Long story short I am flying standby and only want to take a carry on. Therefore I will be renting crampons and Ice axe in Zermatt. I am debating which boots to take. I have a trusty pair of salomans that are my go-to boot for summer colorado 14ers which would require full strap-on crampons. My other alternative are my La Sportiva Spantiks. Im assuming the spantiks are way overkill, however they would enable me to wear newmatic style crampons. Therefore, what are your opinions between the two? Also if anyone can refer me to a climbing rental company in Zermatt that would be great.
Thanks
