I am looking for a good pair of all round boots that I can use on Rainer, Hood, Mt. Washington (Winter) and maybe Denali in a few years. I used a pair off Double plastic Koflach on Rainer in August and froze w sock liners and Pat. Mountaineering socks. My feet are always cold. I was looking at La Sportiva Nuptse, Nepal, Batura or Scarpa Summits. I was unsure about other Scarpa's. Any suggestions?Also a boot that will cross ocer for a day of ice climbing?

This is a great boot for everything you're looking to do. My feet also tend to run cold all the time.....too many times w/ frostbite racing bikes. I am using the Nepals for everything and they've been great. I have been in anything overly extreme in them.... Only down to about -5ºf but the toes have been just fine. As far as ice climbing there's nothing that beats the Nepal! I think you'd be great with either boot! Hope that helps.
