🏔 Climbing Wire Height Explained

  • 35 mm (Low / Short wire)
    Best for mellower skin tracks, offering less heel lift and a more natural stride.
  • 55 mm (High / Long wire)
    Intended for steeper skin tracks, providing more lift to reduce calf and ankle strain on climbs.
  • Choosing the correct wire height can make a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency while touring.

🏔 Why This Matters

Black Diamond’s O-series bindings were some of the most widely used touring-capable 75mm Telemark bindings ever made. The climbing wire is a small but essential part of the uphill system, and having the correct height helps match your setup to the terrain you ski most often. With BD no longer producing 75mm Telemark bindings, original replacement parts like these wires have become increasingly hard to find.

Important operational note (from the O1 manual):
The climbing wire must be in the down position to activate climbing mode.
This is an easy detail to miss and often explains why climbing mode doesn’t feel right.
