All around crampons: Air Techs?

I am looking for an all around crampon that will hike good and climb good on the steeps. I was looking at the Grivel Air Tech's. Not aluminum, but steel. How do these do when using the front points on steeper sections of trail and ice? I would not be using this for vertical ice. Any other good options for something that would fit this bill?

Air-Techs are awesome. I use mine for vertical ice in some cases, and they also walk very nicely. They are a really good all-around mountaineering crampon.

Airtechs are a very good, very well made crampon. I'm sure you wont be disappointed.
