Scarpa Ribelle Cross 2 GTX Mountaineering Boots - Black/Olive - Size 45.5

Technical mountaineering boots built for fast ascents and technical trekking in demanding alpine terrain. The Scarpa Ribelle Cross 2 GTX combines a water-repellent microfiber and fabric upper with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining, delivering reliable waterproofing and breathability in changing conditions. A protective rand shields the boot from rock abrasion, while the semi-automatic crampon compatibility (B2) makes it suitable for glacier travel and mixed routes. The Vibram® Precision Tech Roll / Montura outsole provides secure grip on rock, snow, and via ferrata. The 2D PU + EVA midsole offers cushioning and stability without excess weight, and the Pro Fiber Roll insole enhances support. The Sock-Fit XT construction wraps the foot for a precise, performance fit. At 660 g per shoe (size 42), the Ribelle Cross 2 GTX is light enough for long approaches yet robust enough for technical objectives.
