I'm trying to decide on the boots for North Col Everest expedition. This is will be May
expedition that it's slightly warmer then April one and Koflach double plastic boots
are recommended by the expedition web site.
Main use of these boots for this expedition is the climb from advanced base camp to North
Col and back. Which is first walking on the rock to the crampon point and then snow/ice
climbing on 20-45 degree slopes
Koflach has 3 type of boots:
Arctis Expe Boots
Vertical Boots
Degree Boots
It seems that Degree Boots are not ideal for expeditions and my choice is
either Arctis Expe or Vertical. Vertical seems to be a lighter, less bulky
version of the Arctis and I think would be perfect for my purposes. Any
recommendations on these ? Should I consider other brands?
Thank you for your help,
Diver
