How are these boots for boot packing? Without a vibram sole it would seem they could be pretty slippery. I wouldn't want to be on anything with any exposure.

I've bootpacked in these and wouldn't recommend it. The way the bottom buckle is designed leads to it catching and opening if it's not tightened down quite tightly, leaving it in a position very prone to breakage at the (by far) weakest point of the boot. This happened to me on my first day out. Luckily Backcountry has their awesome return policy, but it was a bit annoying/poor design. I keep an eye on it now whenever I do any hiking. Other than that, I have nothing but VERY positive things to say about these boots! They're light and super stiff, they make my big fat skis feel nice and nimble. I have last years model (Punk theme) with the #10 tongue.

Vibram is helpful, but not as grippy as it is made out to be, I found. If you were concerned with exposure or slipping while hiking a boot pack then you most likely would want to be wearing crampons.

These would not be my choice if boot packing is a priority.
