I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The La Sportiva Mega Ice Evo Mountaineering Boot

The La Sportiva Mega Ice Evo Mountaineering Boot is a perfect blend of climbing shoes and mountaineering boots, making it a top choice for ice-climbing enthusiasts. It meets the new international standards for ice-climbing competitions and offers exceptional performance.

What sets this boot apart is its unique slipper construction that features an integrated, elastic gaiter laminated to an insulated, waterproof membrane. This design provides ultimate protection from the harsh winter elements, ensuring that you stay warm and dry even in the most challenging conditions.

The stiff carbon midsoles of the Mega Ice Evo Boot offer a light and stiff climbing base, giving you precise control and stability on the ice. These midsoles also come with threaded inserts, making it incredibly easy to swap the integrated Cassin Dry crampons with other crampons of your choice.

  • Integrated Schoeller gaiter adds insulation and moisture resistance: The boot's integrated Schoeller gaiter not only provides insulation but also protects against moisture, keeping your feet warm and dry throughout your climb.
  • Internal quick lace system adjustable in gloves: The quick lace system of the Mega Ice Evo Boot is conveniently placed inside, allowing you to adjust it even while wearing gloves, making it perfect for cold weather conditions.
  • Carbon midsole for a light and stiff climbing base: The carbon midsole offers a lightweight and rigid foundation, giving you enhanced control and stability while climbing on ice.
  • Cassin Dry Crampons integrated into carbon soles: The boot comes with integrated Cassin Dry crampons, providing excellent traction while navigating icy terrain.
  • Threaded inserts make it simple to swap crampons if necessary: The Mega Ice Evo Boot features threaded inserts, making it effortless to swap the existing crampons with other options that suit your specific needs.
