Guide Pick
"I have used the same pair of Nepal Cubes for 3 straight years on dozens of climbs. They fit my feet nearly perfectly, and are the right warmth for Rainier in most all conditions."
The guides over at RMI collectively spend over 10,000+ days a year on the world's highest mountains, climbing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet. They put their gear and apparel through the wringer. This stuff is their work wear and they simply will not tolerate inferior gear.
Step 2
At the end of the climbing season, guides are given a survey to find out what gear they are using and why it is their favorite. We don’t often get complete agreement but we do get alignment and by looking at the data, a few clear winners rise to the top in each category.
Step 3
We take those winners, and stamp them with the Guide Pick™ logo on our site. We also compile this wonderful little document, which you can use to see top contenders, gear advice, Guide Quotes, and more.
I've got a bit of a low volume foot, but these crank down just right; 2 Rainer summits, Olympus, Sahale, St Helens (!), Shuksan and Baker.... Comfy!

Great Boots
I have ice climbed in Ouray for two seasons with these boots and I just love them. If you have ever ice climbed, you know how much time is spent just standing while belaying your climbing partner. My feet never got a bit cold.

Not sure if reviewing the boots or experience ordering them…
Other than being flagged as fraud for no obvious reason and delayed 2 weeks my experience was good. Boot box was damaged even though shipping box was not. Boots fit well and i look forward to using them. I’ve been using Lowa boots and tried on nepal cubes once and really liked them. Cant wait to get them out on some ice!
