Hey all,
So I was looking into purchasing a splitboard and binding setup with the intent of using them for flotation to technical climbing peaks with non technical (mellow) descents. I would like a setup that would be compatible with leather mountaineering boots such as the La Sportiva Trangos, Nepals or Batura 2.0, but still be able to ride mellow descents such as the Emmons on Rainier, Coleman on Baker, or Colchuck glacier in the Enchantments. I understand that by using a Mountaineering boot as opposed to a snowboard boat I am sacrificing performance in the riding department.
I was curious about that types of bindings and setups have worked for you guys. Strap vs plate and what size board best suits this type of endeaver. I'm 5'7, 140 pounds and my pack usually weighs no more than 45 pounds for a net weight of 145-180
