Scarpa Phantom 6000 Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Available Colors / Styles
Give your foot a warm and sturdy platform to help you crush your next winter ascent when you lace and zip it up inside the Scarpa Phatom 6000 Mountaineering Boot. This fortress of warmth features a built-in zip-up gaitor for sealing out the skin-searing cold and a waterproof liner so your feet stay dry even on slushy snowfields in late May.
- The tough S-tech upper’s rubber rand holds up to the abuse any frozen mountain dishes out
- Toe and heel plastic rands secure your crampons as you begin a climb into the heavens
- Waterproof liner is beefed up with a layer of EVA foam and heat-reflective aluminum to keep the warm air inside
- Insole and midsole cushion your steps while staying sensitive enough to feel each foothold before you take the next
- Vibram Mulaz outsole grips the rocks and snow as you approach the icefall
- Ergofit System stretches in the ankle for a dynamic fit for aggressive ice climbers and mountaineers
- Removable Mountain Lite liner lets you dry the sweaty liners in your sleeping bag on longer expeditions to keep them fresh and unfrozen
Bottom Line: Take the next step up a steep and icy face when you slide your feet in the rugged Phantom 6000.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I normally wear a 48 but sometimes a 47 is good. If I order 47s and they are too small, can I return them?
I live in Seattle and could not find a local store with them in stock.

Backcountry has an awesome return policy. If you're unsatisfied, just send it back. However, you do have to pay for shipping.

Spantik is a stiffer boot in sole and cuff and a bit clunky in comaprison to the 6000. The 6000 is more fun on hard technical ground and a bit less volume in size. Same warmth imo.

Does anyone have experience with these boots in the field? How do they compare to the Spantiks?
How do these walk? I've owned vasque leather single boots
How do these walk?
I've owned vasque leather single boots for ages and I love how they hike and ice climb, but they are cold.
I've owned Koflach Arc Exp boots and they killed my shins after just 2 miles approaching the ice.
Has anyone walked on flat ground for a few miles in these? If so what was your experience?
BTW cold tistle blog was a great read. Dane was really exact in his review, but this question remains. He said " The 6000 is light in weight and easy to walk in." I guess I'm looking for a second opinion. Here in Idaho you hike a few miles to get to the ice, and I'd like to not take two pairs of boots with me.

If Dane says they're easy to walk in, I'd take his word for it. He knows his stuff, and he beats the snot out of it. If you're desperate for a second opinion though, check out goaao.com. They're the midwest distributor for Scarpa, and I believe Brian Block climbs with Phantom 6000s, so you can email him about them.

Tried on the LS Spantik, LS Baruntse, and Scarpa Phantom 6000. I found that the 6000 fit my med to low arched feet the best. I initially liked the spantiks but couldn't get a decent fit, lots of heel lift, and was turned off by the funky lacing system. I wear a 46-46.5 in scarpa approach shoes and went with the 47 in the 6000.
I recently used them on some moderate ice climbs in the San Juan Mountains and was a little apprehensive about climbing in doubles instead of my LS Nepal Extremes. I really enjoyed climbing in the 6000 and didn't feel at all like they were holding me back, it doesn't feel like you are climbing in a big clunky double boot, the super gaiter is awesome, they felt super toasty, The lacing system and the espcially the power strap are great. Like someone suggested, I backed up the speed lace buckle with a reef knot to hold it in place and keep the laces from loosening.
Dane's reviews were really helpful in figuring out all the boot debating. Thanks Dane! I noticed that the Palau liners for the Baruntse did in fact work pretty well as a liner for the 6000. For me, it seemed the 45.5-46 Palua sized liner was comprable in size to the 47 stock liner for the 6000. I definitely noticed that with the palau liners the 6000 turned into a stiffer and more supportive boot.
How To Keep Your Toes Warm Ice Climbing

Two things...use these boots, the Scarpa Phantom 6,000's and put in a pair of toe warmers. In this short video I demonstrate.
I tried the Phantom guides in a shop and the size 43 was perfect.
I tried the Phantom guides in a shop and the size 43 was perfect. However I'm afraid the Guides will not be warm enough for me and I'd like to try the 6000's but nobody carries them here (Montreal). How does the fit compare between these two boots?

Fit will be very similar. I would suggest you get the size 43 in the Phantom 6000

Warmer then most boots I have owned but sturdy and the aggressive built of these shoes work really well when you want to move fast.

Hi Eduardo,
Yes, the waterproof lining is Outdry. The Scarpa North American site doesn't list Outdry, or at least I couldn't find it. However, if you go to the Scarpa UK site (scarpa.co.uk), they mention the use of Outdry. These two markets are different, but I believe that technology should hold true across both. Thanks.

Hi there,
I'm trying to decide between size 41 and 42 in these boots. I usually wear a size 7.5 or 8 US street shoe. My feet measure 10 1/8" long with climbing socks on.
Does anyone know what the insole dimensions are for this boot in a 41 or 42? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

i have several pairs of Scarpa's. 42 equates to a size 9, 43 a size 10. i can't speak of the smaller sizes. but The Grouch is right try them on to be sure.

What would be a good replacement liner for these? I'm not thrilled with the stock liner.

The Baruntse liner available as a spare from La Sprtiva works well in the 6000.

How does sole stiffness on this compare with the spantik. I've heard it's a bit soft. I'm usually a 44-45 so if it's too soft it can certainly be tiring on a long day. My spantiks gave me achilles tendonitis so I'm hoping to find something to replace them with. Any help out there? Open to suggestions... Baruntse doesn't fit, and I don't want the bulk of an olymon, but I still want a double boot.

It is a softer boot (sole and cuff) than the Spantik. Sole is plenty stiff for steep water ice or hard mixed. Long bits of moderate alpine ice will be trying in comparison to Spantik. The up side is the 6000 will climb hard technical ground easier.
