What would be warmer? Alti Gloves or Cornice Mittens?
I'd like to get some warm mitts for 10 to 14K altitudes, but I thik the Alti mitts would be overkill. But I'm also thinking about the Alti-gloves which would allow some amount of dexterity if they are warm enough for the job.

*Warmth comparison -- I have the Cornice Mitts and the Hestra XCR Mitts, and I must say that the Hestra's are warmer. However, what I love about the Cornice mitts (and other OR handwear) is that you can use the Gore-Tex shell with other liner combinations. Tough choice, I recommend trying a few on. I tried about 7 before I settled on the Cornice and the XCRs.

Wow - great question. The whole glove vs mitt thing. Yes, Mitts are warmer in general, but the Alti Glove IS the warmest glove that OR makes to date. I think you would be great with the Alti Glove.
