Fritschi may be hard to pronounce, but their bindings are easy to love. The Freeride sets the standard for Alpine Touring bindings with its versatile design, and the Titanal 3 provides a lightweight and affordable option to introduce alpine skiers to Randonee.

Required Gear for Steep Skintracks   06-14-06
Jonathan Shefftz (69): rank
Ski crampons should be required gear for any steep traversing skintrack. They greatly enhance security in such situations. The only drawback of the Fritschi design is that you have to exit the binding to attach the crampon, so best to figure you that you'll need the crampons before you're suddenly on steep terrain and have to do some tricky moves to exit and then reenter the binding. The other problem is finding a convenient way of carrying them in your pack, try threading some shock cord through the small holes in the crampon for an external attachment approach. If you have the most recent generation of Diamir bindings though, you might want to consider the newer Axion crampon, which can be affixed yet not deployed until you actually need it.

Requisite for the alps.   06-03-07
fusionboy (54): rank
A necessity for steep skintracks ski touring in the Alps. The easiest way to carry them is to drill a small (3/16") hole and thread them with parachute cord, then clip them to the waistbelt of your back so they are easy to get to when you need them.

Not designed for serious climbers   02-22-08
built_to_hike (1): rank
The downfall of the crampons if that they attach under the boot and rise and fall with your foot. This is fine on an easy grade, but any attempt on a moderate to steep grade your faced with difficulty. You are not able to set your risers up (because then the teeth will not penetrate the ground effectively) and therefore to climb at a steeper angle your body has to be in an awkward, crouched over, less secure bend that takes an unnecessary amount of energy. With that said, unless your sticking to easy flat terrain, consider another option or plan to custom alter them to work for more diverse backcountry terrain.
