I bought these boots after destroying several pairs linecutting. I don't do that anymore but I fell in love with the design. They looked tough. Since then I have used them on several climbs, including some 5.6 - 5.7 rock climbs with a pack on. To show off their grip, I have even used them bouldering. The sole will glom onto anything but the lack of a protective rand meant I scuffed them up quite a bit. I use an old pair of Chouinard Salwena lace up crampons because I find the heel too soft for my semi-automatics. They work fine for moderate snow and ice, but are not stiff enough in the toe for steep stuff (better fo walking though.) I like the lacing system as it allows multiple setups but on long downhills the laces cut where the foot and ankle meet. I put in Your Sole Orthotic insoles which cut down a lot of grief. I have worn these boots, with gaiters of course, where my partners have worn plastic, and have never had cold or wet feet. If you like the kind of moderate mountains with difficult approachs that we have here in the Yukon, the Cliff is a great boot.
