User Review: MSR Denali Ascent

MSR Denali Ascent
Above: The current Denali Ascent, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $100 Cdn. second-hand

Love them. Bought these well-used models secondhand from a rental outlet and have used them a fair bit on steep terrain. They performed great with the heel riser. However, using the attachable tails for softer snow sucks because it makes the shoes sink into the ground unevenly and makes travel more tiring. I guess that is when skis are necessary! I've never used another pair of snowshoes but don't think I will ever look for another!
