0°/7°/13° climbing aids: The climbing aid offers two positions with 7° and 13° which can easily be accessed with the ski pole, even in an unstable standing position. Integrated elastomer paddings dampen the impact reducing the irritating traditional “clack” and allow more comfortable hiking.

S+W Verdict:

“A fantastic upgrade for what was already one of the best Freetouring bindings on the market. Now significantly lighter and stiffer, this is one of the most high performance free touring bindings available”
