Black Diamond Ascension Climbing Skin

A 100% nylon-plush climbing skin built for ski mountaineers and alpinists who need reliable traction on steep, icy pitches where glide efficiency is secondary to purchase on the fall line, the Ascension Climbing Skin from Black Diamond uses a full nylon face for maximum grip in cold, consolidated snow where mohair blends can lose contact. The STS (Sliding Tip System) tip and tail attachment accommodates varying ski lengths with 10cm of tail adjustability, and the skin can be trimmed to fit waist widths from 65 to 140mm using the included guide. At 751g per pair in the 110mm width and 100% nylon plush construction with an STS tip/tail system, the Ascension is positioned as the traction-first option in the Black Diamond skin lineup for boot-pack-adjacent objectives and technical ski mountaineering routes where holding the line is the priority.
