Shoutout to the King Mt2 from Altra. Feels like old school Altra. I think it's meant to be a Munro shoe but I've found it does really well on rock. The velcro strap also means switching between looser fit for plodding miles and tighter fit for responsive scrambling is super handy
That said I do most of my scrambling in merrell vapour gloves so maybe I just have low standards
Another vote for Topo. I still like and use the Altra King Mts for more aggressive or wet conditions. The Topos are more comfortable and much more durable, but retain a lot of water in my experience.
Second that. I run in Altras for a lot of runs but the Kjerag for most trails. Also the Altra MT king are grippy and low stack, and not as wide as the lone peak (lone peak are too wide for me)
The best shoe for the whites is the altra king mt 2. Wide toe box like the lone peaks, rock plate (like all trail runners should have), great vibram lugs, drain holes for fjording so you don't have to take your shoes off and the sole doesn't get squishy, and Velcro over the laces so they are less likely to get caught on bramble when bushwacking.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
