My two cents, for what it's worth, is if you are doing straight-forward reasonably steep ice climbing (not complex mixed or including snow walking) then you would be much better off to ski and climb in AT boots.

AT boots do straightforward ice climbing very effectively, but the idea of skiing in Invernos is making me hurt just thinking about it.

I have Fritsche bindings on AT skis and AT boots.
However, if you're looking for a cheap start-up... I orginally mounted my AT bindings on a pair of cheap ($50) second hand downhill skis and had no problems.

My AT boots accept crampons with a toe bail.

Agree with previous post about hire places not fitting AT bindings onto their hire skis for you. You need to put holes in the skis. Also, most ski shops in Aus know very little about AT and you do position the mount differently - I would get it done by a professional.
