Sitat Peddyslate: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?
In steep couloirs we are not in a backseat but rather standing upright over nearly horizontal skis.Well with regular big mountain skis you also MUST keep ski tips lifted from the snow.This was the birth of the Rax idea: If you are anyway riding on ski tails in steepswhy not equip this tail with SOMETHING that better controls your direction and speed.
