My AT progression started with Alpine Trekkers back in 2003 then Fritschi's in 2004 then to a pair of Baron's in 2009 only to get the F12's back in the fall. I should have gone with a pair of these a long time ago.
Keep it on the DL! We don't want everyone to realize that going backcountry with Duke/Fritschi is like driving through snow with chains on. Once they realize how much better Dynafit/4WD is, they'll be mobbing the hills! Hopefully you won't evangelize too much and dabblers like TurxSki will continue to babystep into the BC starting with the heaviest, least efficient method available, limiting the range of their tours and discouraging them from doing it too often.
