I live in Ballachulish and have been walking in the hills in winter a bit in a pair of older Scarpa Manta Pro (Blue Nubuck) and G10's. I've also been trad/sport climbing up to HVS/6b ish and friends have asked if I want to go winter climbing a bit and I'm keen to try. I got a good deal on some Petzl Lynx and am looking at getting a new pair of winter boots. They'll predominantly be used for winter walking with bits of climbing thrown in (probably seconding grade III/IV max for a while).
I'm unsure whether to get some new Manta Tech as they'll be better for walking in or to get some Nepal (or other B3) and use my old Manta's for walking mostly (or use the B3s for walking if they're OK for that).
I'm a bit unsure of the best compromise so I thought I'd see what the collective wisdom thinks and hopefully avoid other people's mistakes.
