I have a set of BD vipers (new copper color) I will sell for $300 with buyer paying shipping. Pics wont upload, so email me and I will send you a photo. May be interested in a trade for a different set of tools (Quantum tech, New Quarks, etc)

Thinking about getting new picks. What are the pros/ cons to the 3 different picks offered by BD. I currently have the laser picks, but have modified/ filed them so they are not standard by any means.

Looking for 2 BD micro hammers that fit the Viper ice tools.

Stainless steel version. $100 + shipping. pm for photos

Nice send guys! I am one of the guys that ran into you two on the approach. What kind of snow conditions did you run into? We bailed from our climb of the NBC because all we had was a thin crust that would break and leave you in knee deep powder. we figured the rest of the route would be similar and terrain in the whole area as well.

Below is a list of miscellaneous gear that has seen little or no use. Prices do not include shipping and I do not have PayPal. Please PM me with questions.

Holly Hell Mr. Frieh! One thanks for the super fast reply, and two, that is a huge linkup! Thanks, I will look into it a little more.

Heading over this weekend, looking for advice from those who have extensive knowledge. Plan on making a phone call to locals later, but I want a wide knowledge base. Is it worth the effort to climb Upper green sleeves and is it really WI3? Flanders area. Never been there looking for climbs in the wi2-4 range and in the book it looks like there is potential. Is it worth it and how long is the approach to lower flanders and the cirque?

I am well aware of Danes blog and have done a lot of research lately. On one hand I was told its fine, and then I was told "I would not climb steep ice on them." I don't want the stress of worrying about gear failures on this trip.

I am going to Bozeman to spend the weekend in Hyalite. I remembered that there was a problem with the BD Sabertooths and I never addressed this issue last year. Is it safe for me and my Fiance to climb on these crampons or should we quickly buy new ones? I use the Sabretooth Pro on Trango extreme evo. My Fiance is on the Sabretooth Clip with womens Trango s Evo. If I do need to buy new crampons, what do you recommend?

In great condition. Each set saw two weekends in Hyalite last season. Price includes shipping. https://picasaweb.google.com/mzvarner/ForSale#5651113953282761010

It is just a natural progression of any sport. As it becomes more and more popular, companies will start to invest more money into development of better products. Soon we should have some pretty sweet splitboard gear.

@JasonG- one of my buddies has the Spark RD bindings but is not to impressed with them. They dont instill confidence because they are really thin and flimsy feeling. He has yet to break them but... With that being said, he also broke down at bought an AT set up this year, so that may tell you what he really thinks.

HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THAT!

It is the DIY kit on a LTD Fury 163 i think. Ride bindings I think are centerd already. And I wear a size 45 Spantik. I need to mess with the overall positioning though, maybe moving the binding further back along the palte that slides over the pucks.

@sol- There is no rear hang. Something I need to mess with, but I am just to lazy because it is a PITA with the Voile DIY kit. @Genepires- I have used them twice, once locally and the other to climb/board Mt. Adams. They KICK ASS. They are high enough so there is no pinching. Rigid, warm, and take a crampon better than any snowboard boot. But take my advice with a grain of salt since they have only been used on two trips. You might enjoy this link http://splitboard.com/talk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10141

So I have Spantiks and would like to use them more for splitboarding. I tried them out on the carpet, but my foot hangs over by about three or so inches. Does any one use the Spantiks for this purpose and have they fixed this issue?

thanks for the correction.
