I am planning on climbing in the Monte Rosa region next year and am likely to stay above 4000m for two to three days there enjoying anything that's around D or TD-. one week later we will make an attempt to climb mont blanc via the route des Aiguilles Grises (that is the Italian side), not technically demanding, but again well over 4000m.
Since I have never stayed long enough on such altitude I have never been able to experience my boots capabilities in terms of insulation (altough they are a bit warm when used on the approach from lower valleys).

I hope this defines a bit more my alpine use i.e. steep snow and ice, glacier travel, rocks and boulders...Mmm
