From the Bugaboos to Huntington Ravine, the Scarpa Phantom Guide is a lightweight alpine climbing boot for all your mountaineering needs. The Phantom has an ErgoFit system that allows you to flex your feet naturally so you can get a better grip on small rock flakes when you're ascending technical terrain.

  • PrimaLoft lightweight insulation and multilayer upper adds warmth when you're hitting the ice
  • Waterproof t-zip and integrated gaiter provide protection from the elements so you can climb hard all day long
  • Synthetic Cordura uppers with a DWR coating provide dryness inside of the t-zip
  • Quick lace system can be tightened or loosened easily with cold fingers or gloves
  • ErgoFit sole allows your foot to flex naturally
  • Midsole construction uses microporous polyurethane to improved shock absorption and durability
  • Tough Vibram TT sole for superior grip and traction on variable alpine terrain

Bottom Line: From ice, to rock, and back to ice.

How would these compare with the Scarpa Mont Blanc for warmth?

How would these compare with the Scarpa Mont Blanc for warmth? I'm looking for a good boot for Cascade mountains. Mt. Rainier especially.

The Phantom will be a bit warmer than the Mont Blanc but not as warm as a double boot.

Winter technical boot!

By:
May 7, 2011

This is a great fitting (narrow and wide feet) warm winter boot. It climbs technical ground very well, is light enough and walks well. Toss up between the new Batura and the Scarpa Guide. The Guide offers a little better support in the ankle but not quite as good of gaiter. Find the one that fits the best and enjoy the cold weather and great climbs!

Looking at either the scarpa phantom guide or Charmoz gtx. I know they are pretty different, but can anyone throw out a summary?

For women, this boot is perfect. Never found it to be too warm unless I am hiking in the sunshine, which is rare for ice climbing. If you are ice climbing, do NOT get a non-insulated boot.

I think the main thing you need to consider is whether you need an insulated boot (Phantom Guide) or a non-insulated boot (Charmoz).

Great fitting and Warm for women

By:
January 3, 2012

These boots fit great for a woman. The liner does fit a bit wide. Use an after market footbed and a thicker sock. They keep me nice and toasty during a belay. They tend to get cold if my feet sweat during an approach since they are So warm, so dress appropriately for the weather. They are super comfy on hikes as well.

Just got a pair and I am loving the comfort however...Can anyone

Just got a pair and I am loving the comfort however...Can anyone speak to the durability of that integrated gaiter? Never having used this style of boot before, I am immediately thinking that this gaiter will not withstand 3 or 4 good talus/scree "descents" i.e., curse, stumble and triple-jump through sharp rocks. The "bottom line" here on the site says "from ice to rock and back to ice" but I am thinking it may be "back in the box and back to the company."

I think these will hold up pretty well, but if durability is your main thing consider the Scarpa Mont Blanc. Very similar fit but with a beefy leather upper.

They are not indestructible, nor are they flimsy. They can be repaired. You can always opt to use a pair of gaiters (might not be a bad idea in snow anyway).

Sabertooth fits but the fit could be better, The Ultra below is a Sabertooth with a Petzl front bail. Much better fit than the BD front bail on the Scarpa Phantom Series of boots. Petzl crampons are a better match up out of the box.

Phantom 8000 Is Designed for extended at high Altitude and extreme cold temps IE: Mount Everest $870 retail 1330 grams 1/2 pair size 42. Phantom 6000 is also a double boot it is lower cut than the 8000 but designed for more technical terrain in cold weather situations where you woud need more mobility and sensitivity.. Not as worm as 8000. 1000 grams per 1/2 pair $679. The Phantom Guide is a single boot designed to perform on Ice / technical rock routes .. we see a lot of folks using this boot for everyday Ice climbing not as warm as the above mentioned because it is a single boot and wont dry as fast as it is a single boot but offers more sensitivty demanding technical challenges. 983 Grams per 1/2 pair $525

Since these boots are single boots, how would you dry them while on a climb where you had to stay over night but had a sleeping bag?

Not the best boot for longer trips. They are hard to dry. But the OutDry liner makes them easier to dry than the Goretex boots. Excellent all around boot that fits and walks very well. Climbs evern better.
