excellent idea the snowblades patent but i’ll prefer the snowshoes,not all of us know how stand on two pieces of wood
the most important thing i think we’ll need is to get some pairs of snowshoes that will climb up with ease,just like this type in the image…
sorry for my bad english,not my native language
not everyone knows how to front point in crampons either though
looking at heel riser in your photo I’d say those are the MSR denali snowshoes mentioned by David already which have crampons builtin, I can’t really think of any snowshoes that don’t but there might be some North American ones for covering long distance on flat ground where there’s no need.
The MSR models are simple and robust and they’re what we’re using for next season, we’ve had inook in the past which are OK but the clever heel release dies after about 60 days or so.
