There are still icy patches in the spring until they melt in the summer heat and then you have to climb rocky terrain until autumn covers these steep hills with snow. Instead to have a pair of boots for every season take heavy and very warm boots for the winter and for the rest of the year, stick with the Scarpa Charmoz Women's Climbing Boots. Scarpa made these boots lightweight and versatile for technical climbing tasks in the fall , spring and summer. Its waterproof breathable HDry membrane allows you to cross glaciers climb snow-covered slopes or simply enjoy a little spring rain in the Alps without worrying about it whether your socks get dirty or not. Vibram rubber outsole has tread designed specifically for mountaineering and is suitable for semi-automatic cats.
