A girlfriend of mine once asked me why I climbed mountains. I told her it was for the same reason that I SCUBA dive: "It's the only way to get there."

You trust your life to your climbing partner. If you can't trust your partner with your gear, maybe you need to reconsider who you are climbing with?

I recently purchased a pair of Lowa Civetta GTX Extreme boots (not much choice in the matter, as my feet are size 15), but I was wondering how the stock Gore-Tex/Thinsulate inner boot compared to an aftermarket liner like the intuitions? I have a very straight foot, and I noticed some pressure between my big toes and the inner side of the toe box - not much, but I'm guessing that any at all is a problem? My feet fit no prob in the shells, so maybe it would be more comfortable with custom liners? Any opinions appreciated.
