I'm not too sold on the concept of adding an AT style pivot under a nordic binding. I don't want to have to lock/unlock anything and if I do, I might as well lock at the heel. To me, the beauty and sole (ahem) purpose of pins or system bindings is the balance between striding and turning efficiency. AT picks up gains on both ends at the price of more futzing.

Even NNN/BC is feels a bit stiff after climbing with AT bindings. i'm with you on the AT climbing mode: Last year i tried a Trab Freerando with Silvretta Easy Go (http://www.martin-eckart.gmxhome.de/) and Rottefella from a friend of mine. I was enthusiastic for the easy going. This year, when the adapter will be available (they say before christmas) i'll mount it on a Stormrider XT (the Stoeckli ultralight touring ski) for ascensions and long backcountry touring. I can also tell about experiences with. Best wishes, Ulrich -- reply to: uhausmannATbluemailDOTch |

Hi Booker
In my experiments with AT gear last season I was very impressed with how easy climbing is in AT gear. Even NNN/BC is feels a bit stiff after climbing with AT bindings. As Ulrich already mentioned: the Silvretta Telemark-Easygo is the gearr you dream of. It is really perfect. I tested it last season one day and wanted to buy it immediately, but unfortunately they were sold out. While the "easy going" is fine, to my opinion the real advantage is the possiblity to fix a crampon in a way that it raises with the shoe. I ordered mine last week.

Hi Booker
_ Where? I've been using Silveretta 500's and I'm pretty impressed with the whole climbing bar/lock system. I wanted the Telemark-Easygo the minute I saw it. Ok, its unfair, because I live in Munich and I have three distributing shops in a circle of 40 kilometers around. I could order with fax at Sport Conrad (www.sport-conrad.de), but I did not find it on the web-shop. I think the best internet shop is telemark-pyrenees. But beside this the Tele EasyGo is distributed by Salewa-Sports (they own and distribute the Silvretta Company; Salewa again is a company of the Benetton group). So every shop where you can buy a Silvretta binding should be able to order a Tele EasyGo.
