So you’re thinking of using ski boots for splitboarding? I made the switch to a hardboot setup on my splitboard a couple of years back and here I’m answering a few questions that you may be asking as you consider making the switch. Although I love snowboarding, I do think that skis lend themselves to be better tools overall. More balance, two edges, facing straight down, etc. Last winter I went tele skiing a few times and I am contemplating getting a setup this year to mess around on too! We’ll see.
Out in the wild places of the world, a lot can happen. Each and every decision affects the whole team and these decisions can easily change the course and outcome of any adventure. Mountains are defined by their summits, and as a mountaineer we’re defined by how many we reach, right? The goal of this trip was to finish the Between The Peaks journey that started in 2013 with Aconcagua down in Argentina and was set to end on Denali that same year.
We started our journey by getting lost in the parking lot. Very quickly we discovered that our route finding skills were in need of desperate help. After just a few minutes, moving the car from one parking lot to the next and checking our map of Rainer once more, we were on our way. The normal route of climbing Rainier, up the Disappointment Cleaver, starts out as a steep, paved, and winding walking path through a beautiful alpine field.
