Any Gals out there that have used this binding? I'm planning to use it for in resort and the backcountry as I'm new to AT. As an ex racer I definitely want to feel solid on these bindings and so far just the climbing has been an issue with sloppiness. At 130lbs, I'm afraid the Duke might be too robust for me. Thoughts?

I am about your same weight and think this could be an awesome first set-up for backcountry that you could also comfortably ski at the resort. As for climbing, each set-up has its advantages, but if you are mainly planning to ski resort but want to tour even up to half of your days, this will be excellent and lighter-weight than the Dukes.
