Anyone still using clickers? (and nice photo)

Just a thought. K2 is letting them go by the wayside yet they were really the only style of step-in binding I had much respect for.. Ah well...

Here's a thread (http://www.telemarkskier.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000594) regarding some nifty home made crampons to use with them. This guy also has made custom plate/highbacks for use on his splitboard as well. Check out his quest to get some good snow in the Tahoe area this month... Nice line eh?

too bad, in my book, it was the only step-in worth having. it's pretty strange how such a good design got killed. i scored some clicker boots off ebay a couple of months ago and have been going back and forth between straps and step-in. both have their advantageous and disadvantageous. i normally use the clickers when i'm into getting as much ride time as possible. i love the fact that i can exit a chair, click in, and take off riding.

that crampon looks interesting. i've adapted an old clicker binding to my verts snowshoes. i've also rigged my clickers with a quick-release strap for avalanches. basically i connected a wide strap to the two release levers. when left in the unlocked position, one quick yank on the strap ejects the board.

thanks for the heads up. i might have to look for another set of boots just in case.
