The technical ice boot, with a rigid sole for climbing steep ice, offers more insulation for high altitudes and extreme cold weather. While flexible to semi-flexible soles provide comfort, they can feel clumsy on scree. This boot is ideal for glaciers and hiking, but may fatigue more on steep snow and ice due to the soft sole. It features a notch in the front and back for automatic crampons and has a removable inner liner for added warmth, with an integrated gaiter. Rigid crampons, suitable for waterfall ice and steep snow, offer dual front points for more purchase and fit most boots with toe and heel notches. Basic glacier crampon with horizontal points ensures secure purchase in snow, while flexible mon points are ideal for hard ice and mixed climbing.
