The MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe takes the Denali Classic design with detachable flotation tails and parallel traction bars, and builds in even more performance. The result is a lightweight, technically superior snowshoe that has incredible performance on ice and snow-covered landscapes. The Ascent traction bars feature piercing Saber Teeth and 4 raised spikes that provide more grip than the Classic on hard-packed snow or freezing terrain. In addition, the Ascents come with Televators that flip up to support your heel during steep ascents thereby reducing calf fatigue. A stand-up binding makes for easy exit/entry. That means you won't be delayed a moment too long before enjoying the descent. Isn't that the whole point? |
Bottom Line: Expedite your ascent with Televator climbing bars & added traction. |
Reviews: MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe
Denali Ascent Snowshoes
Just returned from 4-day hike in the Adirondack High Peaks -- Wright, Colden, Algonquin & Iroquois. Denali Ascents proved perfect for 90% of activities on this trip. Worked remarkably well above the timberline traction-wise, but less so floatation-wise in powder in the saddle between Iroquois and Algonquin. Purchased the tails but haven't used them yet. Managed to lose a strap when it slipped out of binding buckle, but believe that can be corrected by leaving closer to a 2" tail outside the buckle. Otherwise, very happy w/ ease of binding system and quality of shoe. Don't look to hold conversation on the trail w/ these -- they are noisy in anything but powder.
