Spantik VS. scarpa phantom 6000

[christophbenells]

Anybody out there (besides cold thistle) have any comparisons between the two?

 

From what I can tell the Scarpas are not quite as warm, but are a little more nimble on technical ground since it is a bit lower profile and thinner sole.

 

I like my spantiks but they are damn big boots, wondering if trading them in is worth it or not.

 

The general use would be climbing 5.9/ WI4 and lower in AK range.

From the Cold Thistle website - You may want to take a look at the Lowa 6000 EVO RD. It's a double boot and, according to Dane, it "fixes" the minor issues the Phantom 6000s have.
