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.

Fit tip:
True to size
  • ARG last: has low volume technical precision, but with a noticeable toe spring, giving a much more natural and fluid gait
  • Perwanger 2.5mm water-repellent suede upper with water-repellent microfibre inserts
  • Sock-Fit XT system wraps the foot like a sock
  • Protective rand in PU on the outside to increase lightness and rubber on the inside and on the toe for greater protection
  • The upper construction together with the sole ensures maximum precision and durability, supporting and cushioning the foot.
  • Laminated lining with HDry® and 37.5® fabric technology for greater comfort and waterproofing
  • Combination of PU Tek and rubber rand give the optimum blend of weight saving and reinforced protection
  • Speed Lacing system for an accurate and comfortable fit without constrictions
  • Pro Fiber Roll insole in polypropylene and anatomical and structural fibreglass with differentiated thicknesses, lightweight and with different anti-torsional strengths. Maximum performance, stability and comfort.
  • Pentax Precision Roll sole designed by SCARPA® and developed in collaboration with Vibram® gives you a lightweight, cushioned, technical sole
  • Compatible with semi-automatic crampons
