My friend will be climbing a 6200m trekking peak in Nepal next Oct/Nov but has small feet (size 5 uk) and is having trouble finding suitable boots. Has anyone used Scarpa Phantom Guides at this altitude, are they suitable? or not warm enough? any suggestions would be helpful.

could be a bit cold in those.

Scarpa Vegas are available in size 5 e.g. Needle sports

Guide + proper supergaitors might work.

That said, at least Sportiva Baruntse is available on Eur 37 (which according to the interweb should small enough).

And Spantik is available in Eur 38 (might be OK).
