I have been climbing in the Alphas for a couple of seasons in the Cascades, Coast of B.C., Mexico, and Rockies to include walk ups, water sport routes, mountain ice routes and mixed climbing.
They seem fine to me. I think the comfort is good. I approached Eldorado in them once up the steep dirt slopes. Good enough for me. THe cost is pretty high though.
I am also not a fan of Koflach although I own a pair I got for 15$.
One of my few plugs for BD gear. I also like their moonlight headlamp and fritschi bindings.. Then also the old big carabiners I got for ice climbng. I dont know what they call it but it swallows the rope and they stopped making because I think they were dumb.
