Does anyone know of a touring binding that allows for heel lift / climbing etc. but doesnt require a touring boot with the toe clips?Obviously getting the boot.binding combo would be best... Just trying to save some $$.

Salomon Guardian, Marker Duke, Tyrolia Adrenalin. There are a few on the market.

I have the Guardians and I love them. They feel as solid as a regular binding, and tour pretty well

Every touring binder minus tech ones (i.e. Dynafiddles, Plum, and a few others) that use pins can take either AT boots with tech soles (the rockered vibram ones) or standard hard plastic DIN soles. The Tracker/Guardian is actually designed to take those DIN soles, not techie ones.

These include:
Fritschi Freeride
Marker Duke, Baron, Tour F12/F10
Saloman Guardian/Atomic Tracker
Tyrolia/4frnt/Head Adrenalin
