Hi Mountaineers

SCARPA Matterhorn mountaineering / Ice climbing boots with Grivel crampons. (Made in Italy - excellent quality, excellent condition)

Whole set $250 - Includes allen key and tough camp Crampon pack bag

Crampons are able to be semi-rigid or fixed, (Perfect for glacial walk in and sumit bid/ waterfalls). Have rubber sole-cover to stop ice gathering on sole of boot. Works a treat.

Size Fit Euro size 42/43/44 (Eur)

Great condition; perfect working order

Matterhorn boots have great reviews.

Going overseas, very sad to see these go.

Perfect for Europe, South America or a cheeky early attempt on Mt Cook in NZ.

You will not be disapointed with these boots and crampons.

Please send an email to marcus.dwyer@gmail.com with any questions.

"This heavy leather mountaineering boot is great for cold weather climbing on ice cliffs, alpine rock and glaciers. It is a very nicely constructed boot with a one-piece leather upper, full sticky rubber rands, and a thinsulate lining. The thinsulate lining means that the boot is warm enough to be used in full winter conditions - although probably not warm enough for the himalaya or alaska. It also means that it will probably be a bit too warm for typical summer mountaineering conditions in the Alps, Colorado or the Cascades. It has a nice high cut that supports well for long sessions of front pointing on ice walls; yet, still allows for enough flexibility for alpine rock and for 'french' technique on glaciers or low-angle ice. The sole has a bit of rocker to it, which adds to its comfort whilst walking. This rocker means that they work extremely well with the latest generation of the technical step-in crampons like the grivel rambocomp (for steep ice/mixed). It also works fine with semi-rigid crampons like the BD sabretooth (for alpine). They did not fit very well with the old 'flat' rigid crampons like footfangs.
The last is a bit wider and more forgiving than La Sportiva Nepal Extremes or my old Salomon Super Mountain Guide 9's. Quite comfortable right out of the box for the hike in and the first day's climbing."

Let me know if you want them as going OS.
