Hi everyone,

I am planning an expedition to Pik Lenin (7,134 m) in early August 2026 and am currently torn between the La Sportiva G-Summit and the G2 Evo.

I would actually prefer to use the G-Summit since my style is more "fast & light," but I am not sure whether the thermal insulation will be sufficient for a 7,000m continental peak.

For both boots I would wear thick socks and ensure enough space for the toes. My feet are a normal size (EU 42).

Has anyone here used the G-Summit on Pik Lenin during climbing season and has some experience on that?

Or are there at least any experiences that the G2 Evo is too warm in good conditions?

I would also love to hear your opinion on the The North Face Summit Verto FA and other options.

Thanks in advance!
