From slogging up to the base of a climb, to long traverses where full traction is essential, you’ll fully appreciate the technical features of MSR’s most aggressive snowshoes. The lightest in their class, the Lightning Ascent’s offer unmatched performance on steep and rugged terrain. Angle-neutralising Televator heel lifters save your calves from the fire of ascent and you get the best traction available with MSR’s Total-Traction frame. Aggressive steel crampons and secure, weatherproof and glove-friendly bindings put the finishing touches on the most reliable winter backcountry transportation available.
