Thanks for awesome info, most use is for gr3/4 with some rock and below 8000' alpine. Conditions range from days of -10 to March hero ice. Most approaches are a mile and then a scramble through talus for a good 200' or more. Did get a spiral fracture of my ankle on a stream approach in 2006 so rock hopping ability is another plus. I do prefer a toe bail, and my M10's have a little life left.

Anybody climb in the Scarpa Mantas or the Summit GTX? Opinions on fit, feel, and warmth would be appreciated before I drop my season's gear budget on em'. I've been using Alphas for the last 5 seasons so an upgrade is long overdue.
