In reply to MG:
> Needlesports have La Sportiva Nepals up to size 50 in stock, which is about your only option if you really need size 14 and stiff boots (I have three pairs in case they stop doing them!!). Meindl do some boots up 14 (and larger) but not stiff ones. Some other manufacturers (e.g Hanwag) go up to about 13/49.
3 Pairs?!....Thats a Flotilla!
What crampon set up are you using?
