I have climbed many alpine routes with these bibs. I also use a pair of OR gators. The gators keep snow out of boots when high stepping and the help to keep you from cutting the bibs with your crampons. The bibs have a small kevlar patch designed to prevent this, but I have found that you will kick every spot except that spot. Hope this helps.

That's exactly what the Arc'teryx Alpha SV is designed for, alpine climbing. Yes, you can put gaiters over the cuffs if you like, seems like most folks don't because the cuffs can cinch down over your boots well enough to do away with a gaiter.
