Scarpa Charmoz GTX Boot - Men's

By Ranked #951 - Men's Mountaineering Boots June 2, 2009

I'm wondering which boot climbs better, the Scarpa Charmoz GTX or the La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX. The Charmoz seems to have a stiffer sole and upper than the Trango, so it seems that it might be better for edging and front pointing but worse for friction and smearing. I'd be interested to know if anyone has some experience with this.

Charmoz does have a more rigid sole but smears just fine. The upper is not as rigid , and has flex zones in the ankle area. You alos realy like the weight , its really light for the type of boot.
