Once upon a time the ultimate desirable insulated high mountain and winter climbing leather boot and ideal for technical use on high altitude terrain and glaciers, also for Scottish winter climbing. Though it should really have been superseded by more modern and lighter weight designs, Sportiva got it so right with this one that it still sells by the oodle-load, mainly because it seems to fit the majority of customers really well. Half continental sizing ensures a good fit. Each pair takes four weeks to make by hand.
The Nepal Extreme is also available in sizes 49 and 50 (UK13.5 and UK 14 approx) at an extra cost.
Very approximate guide to altitude/conditions this boot is suitable for: Scottish winter, summer alpine.
Average weight 2200g/pair.
