I've got some brand name (ushba) Ti Pins. I've only ever dared place the thickest of the sizes I've got. Something like a BD Bugaboo. Even after a single placement and cleaning they are liable to be a bit bent and show their use.
Look, Im sure they're not as strong as the steel ones; but often in the alpine, ultimate breaking strength of your gear is the least of your concerns.
If your planning to whip on to them, take steel pins. Otherwise Ti will do.
