"Weighing 2 pounds per boot, the Ice Comp is a pound - a pound! - lighter per foot than a standard leather boot/crampon combo. On mixed terrain, it felt like a Ferrari compared to my regular boots. In the final shakeout, the Ice Comp's insulation and beef earned it the thumbs-up for steep ice and continuous all-day use." - Rock and Ice Magazine The ICE COMP GTX gained instant credibility when Papert asked LOWA to create this cutting edge design for her ice climbing competitions. In a one month period, sporting this new boot, she: - Took first place at the Kandersteg, Switzerland Ice Climbing Festival.
- Became the only woman to reach the peak of the men's route at the Ice Climbing Festival in Ouray, Colorado.
- Won the Ice Climbing World Championship in Saas Fee, Switzerland.
