That means that your heel doesn’t have to go all the way back down to the ski/binding when you’re climbing uphill, making it feel a little more like walking up stairs. The S/Lab Shift MNC’s offer climbing bars that can be adjusted beneath your heels, giving your heels between 2 ° – 10 ° degrees of “lift” when climbing. This allows you to use your skis as snowshoes as you trek up the mountain before locking in the heels and skiing back down. What makes backcountry bindings different from their traditional downhill counterparts is the ability to lock in the toe while leaving the heel free to move up and down.
