Hi there,
I am new in this sport, and I am planning to climb Cotopaxi 5897m snow/glaciar, Chimborazo 6310m snow/glaciar and Aconcagua 6960m normal route sand/rock. Are this boots to much? suggestions welcome.
Many thanks

Yeah thats a bit scary. If your going through a guide program try some 14'ers first. these boots are awesome for what your talking about. Don't buy a $5K Yeti mountain bike for moab if your still learning how to use clipless pedals. these boots will work for you but pick a different starter mountain.

If your question is to whether the boots are overpriced, then no. Sportivas are bombproof and worth the money. If your question is to whether this is too much boot for Aconcagua etc, then also no. Those are some seriously hardcore peaks. Honestly, I'd be most nervous about why you feel comfortable tackling a 23,000 foot peak if you still describe yourself as "new in this sport"
