MSR began in the 1960s developing new and innovative products for hiking, camping, and mountaineering, and they continue to lead the industry today with standard-setting designs. Their dedication to creating the most reliable outdoor gear is evident in their functional streamlined designs. Every piece of MSR gear is extensively tested both in the lab and on expeditions to the harshest environments around the world.

Description of MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe:
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.

These shoes work very well in most conditions. You will need the flotation tails in deep powder, but otherwise they perform remarkable well for their size. One thing, if you are going to use them for Backcountry Snowboarding get the EVO Accents instead, the space for the front of your snowboarding boots are too small on these, they will rub a hole in the tops of your snowboard boot toes.

I use my denali ascents primarily for backcountry boarding. I have no problems with the bindings. If you have really big feet you can just cinch down the binding a little further aft and you will have enough room for your toes in the hole. I've also used them for winter ascents of fourteeners - they are one of the few that I would trust on technical/icy/steep terrain. I've used many others, these are by far the best for true backcountry use.

Denali Ascent Snowshoes   03-13-03

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.
