Hi,
hope all's well.
I'm looking to get a split setup for the course in feb, this is what I'm after;
Jones solution 163w
Spark blaze bindings
Spark mr chomps crampon
Black diamond expedition poles
Black diamond glidelite mix sts 140mm skins
If there are any items that you would recommend (or anything i've missed out) (do i need an additional mounting system for the bindings?) instead of the items listed above then I'd be very keen to hear any alternatives.
Thank you!
Best
James
Hi James,
Your list looks good but check out the Black Diamond ‘distance trekking pole’ as an alternative to the exped pole. This is a lightweight collapse-able pole that fits easily into your pack.
You’ll need the Voile mounting system for the bindings. This will give you the plastic pucks that the bindings slide onto plus the heel raiser and touring bracket.
Spark do a light weight touring bracket and touring pin system ‘LT pin system’ which reduces the weight of your set up and adds a nice finish.
Also check out the Karakoram Splitboard binding system! I haven’t tried these bindings yet but by all accounts they are very good and work on a new system.
