The Scarpa Ribelle HD is my pick for alpine climbing when a long approach is required or for extended backcountry travel. This is because the sole has the rigidity required for optimal crampon fit and stability in rough terrain, while combining a distinct underfoot rocker to aid in walking. While the lower volume fit makes this boot incredibility precise for a mountain boot and excels in rock and mixed climbing, some may find the more relaxed fit and flatter rocker of a heavier boot such as the Scarpa Manta Tech, less restrictive and offering a flatter, perhaps more secure crampon fit. For general mountaineering deep in the New Zealand bush, the Ribelle HD is hard to beat.
