    AT Boot Stiffness

    Can anybody put these boots in order of stiffness? If 5 is stiff and 1 is soft where would each boot be?

    I suspect the Garmont Adrenalin and Scarpa Denali would be somewhere near the top but where would boots like the Garmont G-Ride be?

    How much stiffer could the G-Ride be made by custom modifications?

    Adrenalin is stiffest, but use the search function to learn more about its wierd flex.
    Then DenaliTT, DenaliXT, and Garmont GRide or Mega Ride.

    sounds like you don't want anything softer than that.
    do a search for boot mods.
    many have used flexon tongue and booster straps to help.

    Also, Scarpa Tornado is coming out next fall - its just like Adrenalin.
    If a stiff alpine boot is a 5, my stock GRides are a 3.5 or 4.
