Jeebus Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 greetings everyone. I have zero experience with ice climbing and I was wondering if on long ice climbing days people wear two smartwool socks with their ice climbing boots. I have a pair of scarpa alphas and they fit me well with one pair of smartwools but with my circulation I need two smartwools when alpine climbing/hiking/trekking in snow. So although this pair won't serve me well in climbing/hiking etc. I'm wondering if it can serve me on short pitches in recreational ice climbing. Depending upon your answer I may keep the alpha for ice climbing only. also please feel free to comment about the Alpha's usefulness as an ice climbing boot. Thanks!

Ade Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Alphas aren't the warmest double boots out there but they have a low profile which makes them a pretty good climbing boot. Adding more socks may not make your feet any warmer if they restrict circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
