Product description
Weatherproof walking boots for steep terrain
The Ascent GTX from Garmont are ideal for fast climbs, via ferratas and mountaineering! These lightweight mountain boots are made from durable 1.8mm suede leather and fit excellently thanks to their athletic cut. They feature a GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining, which makes the boots waterproof and breathable. Plus, a comfortable footbed made from antibacterial felt reduces the build-up of odours and increases the air circulation within the boots.
Solid grip and plenty of comfort
Garmont's Frame Flex Mid insole, made of nylon, provides the perfect combination of stability and flexibility. The Vibram Nepal outsole features a climbing zone on the underside of the toe, offers excellent grip on all surfaces and is very durable. Meanwhile, the precise lacing with additional lace hooks on the collar keeps your feet secure on both ascents and descents.
The asymmetrical collar is higher on the inner side, thus protecting your ankles and lending extra stability. In addition, a protective rubber rand in the toe area and at the heel protects the boots against abrasion, scree and stones. The anatomically-formed tongue of the Garmont Ascent GTX mountain boots adapts perfectly to your foot, allowing for optimal comfort.

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Would these be B2 category winter mountaineering boots he can attach crampons too?
Are these boots suitable for summer alpine snow walking? Mont Blanc?
Hi Aten , For Summer Alpine these wil be fine especially , if you're fairly fast moving. For Mont Blanc summit , they may lack the necessary insulation if you're someone who feels the cold.
Thanks Adria. Much appreciated
Petzl leverlock Fil ,is it compatible with boot,
Hi Brian , These boots are only suitable for use with either a strap-on or semi-automatic binding.
If it has limited crampon compatibility, does it take the Grivel classic? If not, what are examples of crampons that it will take?
Hi David, These will be suitable for crampons with a strap on binding or even better with a semi automatic binding. So , from Grivel , the New Classic or New Matic bindings will be fine. The New Matic binding would be my choice.
Hi Ti,
The boots are limited crampon compatible which means you have to look for some with a clip at the back and basket at the front.
Kind regards
