Write your question here...For general mountaineering, how would these boots (Scarpa Summit) compare with the LA Sportiva Glacier model? Would the half shank in the Glaciers present a problem on steeper snow/rock?

The Summit boots have twice the insulation and a Gore-Tex liner. The half shank would be no problem for what you described. And I've owned both boots!
