Preparing for a guided climb of Mt. Rainier, south side, no glaciers. They recommend heel bail/toe strap crampon style. Not doing any vertical ice climbing. I like to buy as few pieces of gear as I can, so I’m willing to spend a little extra to get something that is more versatile.
The guides will typically recommend double plastic boots on Rainier, primarily because they are warmer and easier to keep dry on overnights, but I don’t know of any plastics that are semi-automatic (heel bail/ toe strap) like you mentioned.
Depending on whether or not you get cold feet, I would honestly avoid the double plastics altogether. Unless you are doing high altitude climbs like Denali or extremely cold overnights (consistently below zero), they are not necessary. I owned a pair of good double boots before but sold them. They are heavy, bulky, and difficult to move in. Spend the money on a good pair of leather mountaineering boots, (this is what all the guides wear anyway). Good brands are La Sportiva, Scarpa, Asolo, Mammut, and others. Probably the most popular model out there is the La Sportiva Nepal Evo. Both my friend and I own a pair of these and they are unbelievably comfortable and versatile. I use them for ice climbing, cool weather hiking, glacier travel, and winter mountaineering. The only downsides to getting a leather boot are that they do not have a removable inner boot and can be more difficult to dry if they get wet, and they are not as warm as bigger double plastic boots. If you really want a good boot, there are some double leather boots, but they are QUITE expensive (La Sportiva Spantik $699).
Honestly though, something like the Nepal Evos (you can find them for 350 to 400) would be absolutely fine for Rainier. As for crampons, assuming that you aren’t going to be doing any ice Climbing with them, I would go with the Black Diamond Sabretooth or Petzl Vasak crampons. I have used each and they are both good versatile crampons for the price. They are both available in full and semi-auto versions.

This award winning short film documents Ari Vatanen’s record-breaking run at the 1988 annual Pike’s Peak Hill Climb Event in Colorado. The film was created by Jean Louis Mourey and captures Vatanen Climbing Pike’s Peak in a four wheel drive, four wheel steering Peugeot 405 T16. Watch the world famous rally legend rip through hairpins and glide past sheer cliffs at 14,000 foot elevation from cameras inside, in front, underneath and above the car. This is by far some of the most spectacular and nerve bending race car footage ever recorded. The film has since become one of the most watched and talked about car films ever, right up there with the French cult classic Rendezvous.
This is the best quality available for this clip
