Being able to get far in the backseat without losing control might not be such a bad idea when getting down supersteep colouirs after all?... Hefty crampons that dig in to keep you from skidding, but with a tip that lets you control the direction seems reasonable to me even though I can't imagine trying to ski something that steep!
How does the crampons perform in different snow? Dry, spring corn, wet, ice, etc?
