Hi. I'm looking for a boot to use for scottish winter use. I don't do any climbing at present but would like to have the option of doing a bit at some point.
My question pertains to crampon use with these boots - the Mammut site states they are compatible with strap on crampons. Given the obvious abscence of a toe welt full step ins are a no go, but I can't tell from the pics if the heel / sole unit would accept hybrid types such as Grivel new-matic bindings.
These boots look like an attractive alround mountain usage option, especially as my current B1 raichle boots fit well and the price point is appealing (and they're stocked by a shop I can wrangle a discount out of), however I'd rather avoid full strap-on crampons. Any experience / comments gratefully received.
Cheers,
Pete

These puppies work best with strapon's. Stepin's will work but not as good. Not as tight a fit. Air Tech's & G10's also work great. Best of all, they go well with a wee dram. Make sure you're prepared when in Scotland.
