I have a chance to buy both of these for a very good price spatnik $225 nuptse $150. Really good condition for both. This will be my ice climbing boot . They both fit fine. La sportiva is good for my feet if I go up 1/2 size.
Anyone had them both who can share thoughts.?

Nuptse is a tank. Heavy, clunky sole. The Spantik is a much more nimble boot, much more capable of technical climbing. Nuptse's are a bit warmer then spantiks though.

Those boots are going to be too warm for most days. You live in Colorado right? You're not going like hiking in them or climbing in them. Too big and bulky. I get it's a good deal but I would reconsider and get a single leather boot.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
