 Early history Silvretta randonnee alpine tour AT backcountry ski mountaineering binding
Soon after this, in the early 1970s, Silvretta added a stiff metal plate (sometimes known as a "bear paw") under the boot, to prevent sideways slop.
When combined with the naiveté of most North American ski mountaineers of the time (compared to those in Europe), the result was frustration, and experimentation with nordic equipment.
Simply put, this version of the Silvretta binding may have been the seed of the telemark renovation we've seen over the last three decades.
