Snow Plak Approach EBY003

This is a pair of Snow Plak approach shoes, used once for about 2 hours on a snow hike in the Yatsugatake mountains.
This is a rare model from before minor changes.

There are minor scratches from normal use (one time), please check the photos.
There is no bending of the main body or damage that would affect use.
Also, there was originally no storage bag included.

These are designed to be used by sandwiching them between your boots and crampons. The last photo shows an example of them attached. Unlike snowshoes or wakan (snow baskets), you don't need to remove your crampons even if the snow conditions change, which significantly increases mobility.
They can be used with mountaineering boots with a toe welt, as well as hiking boots and approach shoes without a toe welt.
Crampons can be used not only for climbing but also for lightweight crampons used for UL hiking.
I used them with PETZL LEOPARD FL.
