Thanks for the feedback, it's certainly a trip I'm not likely to forget!
I just realised I wanted to give a shout out to @Sarvo about his talan boots, and missed it in the write up.
I bought the winter pair, and was so impressed I am buying a summer pair for the warmer months.
I have taken these boots up through scree and tussock, right up a river, crossing 7-8 times staying dry (until I crossed a section up to my thighs), and most recently on this trip up through bush, and back down with a very heavy pack on. Not once did I slip. They have excellent grip and feel, especially stepping on river stones. I haven't had any blisters from them, even coming back down the river, boots full of water. If you are looking for a new pair of boots, give these a crack, for the price you can't really lose! My 2¢ 😂
