Our Guides Prefer this Boot for Cold Weather Climbs
There are boots that can make it up a peak, and then there are boots that are made for the job. The SCARPA Phantom 6000 falls into the latter category. As a lightweight, trimmed-down version of the Phantom 8000L HD, this mountaineering boot is perfect for high altitude peaks up to 6000 meters in elevation. Redesigned to tell a more sustainable story, we used more environmentally-friendly materials while still offering the same great performance you know and love from our mountaineering boots.
With a fully waterproof shell and mid-calf gaiter, the Phantom 6000 can keep out even the heaviest of storms. The PrimaLoft synthetic insulation lining on the inner boot wraps your feet in a warm shell, no matter how fast the temps drop. And with a lightweight Vibram Precision Tech Roll sole with a shock-absorbing midsole, you’ll feel fresh no matter how many steps it takes to get to the top.
EU and US Sizing
More sizes means a better fit! Most mountaineering footwear is built on European half sizes which are smaller increments than US half sizes. This gives us five extra sizes per size run, which gives you a better fit!

How Guide Pick™ Works
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.
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.
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.
