LARGE Plastic Mountaineering Boots Needed!

Hi,

AIM: I'm soon to leave for a climb in Nepal, Ama Dablam specifically, and need a pair of plastic mountaineering boots, such as: Scarpa Phantom 8000s, Millet (One Sports) Everests, LA SPORTIVA OLYMPUS MONS, or Koflach Arctis Expeditions.

PROBLEM: I have tried size 13 (I think that's the same as 48) in the Millet (One Sports) & La Sportivas, but they were too small. And living in Australia, I haven't been able to find a boot larger than size 13 / 48 to try.

SOLUTION: So, I'm hoping you can help me obtain a pair of boots size 13 / 48 or larger!

Please help!

if you havent already, try mountain equipment in kent streeet sydney, or tom walker at southern cross equipment (also in kent street sydney)

i use the one sport boot (size 11), id dare to say its over kill for what you want it for, (albeit the new model one sport boot is much slimmer than previous models) which is better for technical climbing, the older models are chunky.. and they cost a packet ($1000 +)

ill ask a few people, maybe they have one to fit..

no probs,

out of curiosity, who are you climbing Ama dab with ? is it a commercial trip or private?

i know someone who is trying to get onto a non-commercial permit for AD..
