Hey,

These will be good boots, they are more than technical enough and also designed for high-altitude.

Which route? Remember, most of the Aconcagua routes are scree, which will destroy your boots. Also, while it's not Denali, it can get very cold. I wore my Scarpa Inverno on summit day via Polish Traverse, and my toes were getting a bit numb, fortunately, the sun came out and warm us up. If the weather stayed cold, I would've gone back to high camp. I didn't see anyone with single boots like that on the mountain, most are inverno (mixed nationals), koflak/spantik (americans/canadians) and phantoms (europeans).
