For more technical mixed stuff use the Spantik? Seems like you have it backwards. For more technical stuff use the Nepal. For areas where you need warmth and the multi-day-friendly "double boot" design, get the Spantik. Nepal's are better for shorter trips that aren't super cold. Spantik's are better for longer trips where 7k-ish warmth is needed.

In short, yes, they should be sufficient for almost all of the climbs that can be done there. For more technical mixed stuff, I would reccomend the la sportiva Spantik, It'll give you the same warmth with better technical climbing ability. If you're going in the summer, this might be too much boot, although it's better to have too much than too little, because frostbite sucks.
