it ain't over (3)

or maybe for this ski boot it is ....



the bolt/hinge/pivot seems to have sheared through, obviously this happened at 3000m two days into a tour fulfilling every mountaineers worst nightmare of kit failure. This wire held for climbing and skinning but wasn't so hot downhill, high up on powder, steeps or ice it was fine as I could easily drive the boot but just skiing out through the valley in slush without any lateral control in one boot was pretty non-optimal :D

now to see how quick this can be repaired, I rather needed my boots :D

Eeek :shock:

Oooh ise I think you've done terminal damage there.

You're going to have to add spare boots to the AT kit list, you know )

I don't see why the bolt can't be replaced, my worry is that it'll need to return to Garmont to be done which will take an age.

Well, most good bootfitters with a workshop can dismantle skiboots, so I suggest contacting your dealership pronto. They may have the parts in stock. You can always make do with your Endorphin's if the Megarides have to be sent away. Then again...you could just buy a new pair :D

So, how did you come to snap the bolt?
