The descent gets all the glory, but the ascent is where you spend 90% of your day in the backcountry. Having reliable climbing skins, secure mounting pucks, and trusted touring poles is the difference between a miserable slog and an epic mission. At The Drop, we stock the essential splitboard hardware and accessories to keep your uphill travel fast, efficient, and completely secure.

Climbing Skins: Jones & G3

Traction meets glide. We carry premium splitboard climbing skins from industry leaders like Jones and G3. Whether you need the maximum grip of a full nylon skin for steep, icy uptracks or the lightning-fast glide of a mohair blend for long, rolling approaches, we have the exact plush required for your terrain. Keep them running smooth with BCA skin wax to prevent frustrating ice build-up and globbing on warm spring days.

Mounting Pucks & Crampons: Spark R&D

Your pucks are the critical connection point of your entire setup. We stock standard and canted Spark R&D pucks, ensuring your bindings slide on flawlessly and lock down tight for the descent. If you are pushing into high-alpine zones or tackling bulletproof morning skin tracks, a pair of Spark splitboard crampons is absolutely mandatory. They bite deep into the ice to prevent terrifying slide-backs and keep you moving forward safely.

Collapsible Poles & Tools: BCA

You can't tour without poles. We stock lightweight, highly durable, and fully collapsible touring poles from BCA (Backcountry Access). Designed with extended foam grips for side-hilling and robust locking mechanisms, these poles pack down small to stash easily inside or outside your riding backpack before you drop in.
