I am planning to climb Mera peak (6476m) in nepal and I was wondering if anyone know if these leather boots are upto the challenge? or should I stick with a plastic boot like the Scarpa Vega HA or Asolo Afs 8000?thanksJanosch

I climb to Island peak with Boreal-Latok and there wasn't any problem.
good luck!!

How are we meant to answer questions....there doesn't seem to be a tab to answer......I’ll just tweak a previous answer..

I climbed 5 Himalayan peaks last April incl. Island Peak's Cook's Ridge and the season’s first summit of Lobuche. Our NZ guide wore Asolo Afs 8000's, our doctor wore La Sportiva Nepal's and the rest of us (6) wore Vega's. All with no complaints. The Vega’s were a bit too rigid to climb up to our high camps in but the doc wore her Nepal's all the time. I'll probably invest in Nepal's before a trip to Europe next year. Trying to avoid double plastics......no real reason, just prefer leathers.

Cheers and good luck,

Paul
