Question about choosing a binding system. I have a pair of Mad Rock Alpinist boots and I am largely undecided on what binding system will be the most stable, reliable and appropriate for everything from standard glacier travel to steep front pointing in snow and ice. I am hesitant to go with the sidelock due to mixed reviews and the minimalist nature of the design. I have been leaning towards the leverlock. Any help would be appreciated.

if you are only going to be using them on that boot, get the lever wire because it is a more precise bind and is less likely to fall of or be misfit. the alpinists r automatic compatible so u can put them on them , but if u were to use the pons of a boot with only the welt in the back I would get the leverlock because then they are more versatile, help?

Definitely go with the leverlock. It's easiest and most secure.
