Millet Davai alpine boots...

Millet has been very successful in the 8K meter boot business a while now.

The newest"Davai" single boot, designed for hard technical climbing, is one I am reallylooking forward to testing and reviewing.

Superfabric® reinforcements.

LES DROITES / NORTH FACE"4,000M / ED. 1,000M.

First Ascent: 1955, DAVAILLE & CORNUAU.

For a mountaineer, scaling the north face of Les Droites is a tremendous achievement: 1,000 metres in wintry conditions of snow and ice, with an ED (extremely difficult) rating. With this committed, expert-only route in mind, Millet is launching as part of its - winter collection a technical winter mountaineering boot, a lightweight three-layer Gore-Tex jacket with a radical design, and a pair of warm, precise gloves for holding iceaxes. These three exclusive Millet products bear the name Davaï

– a nod to the route’s inaugural masters: Davaille and Cornuau."
