Are there any bindings available to fit plastic double boots on nordic skis
(for approaches to climbs), rather than having to carry climbing boots and
wear cross country boots?

The only bindings I can find for mountaineering boots are Silvretta 500 on
AT skis.


_ I'm having a blast with my Silveretta 500's on very short
Alpina X-terrain waxless skis and mountaineering boots, but
that rig is probably over kill for want you want.

requirements. Very hard to find in NA though, I would
try some of the European sites. Stubai makes one

Don't expect to make either turns or much speed on it though.

This may be heresy, but if you really look at the issues
of speed, complexity, cost and weight, snowshoes almost always
win out in the long run. Skis are a lot more fun, but
they are heavier and ultimately slower particularly if
you get skis beefy enough to do more than survival kick
turns on the way down.
