How does this compare to the La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX? I want the better boot for durability and for a solid Ice climbing boot?

In my opinion it's not even close. The sole is very similar in durability but the rest of the boot isn't. The entire lacing system seems to break down faster on this boot. Personally I think everything about the Nepal Evo is just a lot better than this, especially for ice climbing. If you talk to the folks at Sportiva they tell you that they designed the Nepal Evo specifically for ice climbing. Check 'em out for sure.Hope that helps.
