<description>Columbia Titanium Daska Pass Omni-Tech Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Hello&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m planning my next hiking trip. We will climb a 20 000 ft mountain in southern Peru, Coropuna mountain. The way up the summit is rocky, but the last 3000 ft are snowy and we will have to use crampons.  I wonder if the Columbia Titanium Daska Pass Omni-Tech Boot can be used for these terrain.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Best regards&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Juan Manuel</description>

It says, &#x26;quot;[Pair, size 9] 15.5oz (440g)&#x26;#x2028;&#x26;quot;. It should read &#x26;quot;1/2 Pair&#x26;quot;, see Scarpa&#x26;#39;s website, or other online retailers. Just wanted to point this out for other weight obsessed shoppers.</description>

<description>La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;How do these compare to the mythos as far as sizing goes. I have a pair of 41 in mythos but they have stretched a lot. should I stay the same with these or go up to the 42 since the uppers are lined? Also how does it fit the foot compared to the mythos. I like the way the mythos fit my foot except i have dead space in the arch.</description>
