This is one of your best reviews, Chris. Good Job. I would be interested in more reviews of the mountaineering/alpine boots, so I appreciate you doing these reviews.
Any thoughts on the warmth of this boot (also as compared to the Mont Blanc Pros if you’ve tested those)? Trying to decide between those two for ice climbing and mountaineering in the Rockies and hopefully eventually the northwest and alps.
Unfortunately I have not tested the mount Blanc boots yet, I would like to do that sometime in the near future. So, as far as the difference in warmth, I can't say at this time. Both models are designed for ice climbing, and both are insulated fairly well. I do own a pair of Rebel Tech 2.0s, and I have to say that the Phantom tech's are warmer.
This might be overkill for most of the UK climbs, however it would be ideal for alpine ascents and the Atlas range in Morocco. I like the colours of this too, opposite to trad mountaineering brown leather.
Not video how can I see you covered the picture on the screen very smart.

Thank you, I hope to do more Scarpa reviews.

They are very impressive boots. Serious gear.
