Step ONE

The first step, the first important centimeter of climbing aid.

If you are on a ski tour a lot, then you get used to an ascent style in which the climbing aid is only used sparingly.

Not taking a climbing aid is good for the joints and gives better support in the ascent. But even if you have not "activated" a climbing aid, you are already approx. one centimetre taller due to the design;
normally consisting of the binding counterpart on the splitboard ski. This first centimetre is not really noticed because it seems so small. In fact, it's important,
because without this first centimeter, walking is noticeably harder.
The UNION binding is a super splitboard binding, as it is the only one with a plastic body that can give a 100% snowboard binding feeling.
In its basic configuration, the UNION has a well thought-out, wide plastic bracket as a climbing aid. This is designed in such a way that it does not require a component or binding counterpart on the splitboard ski in the heel area.
As a result, the first important centimetre is omitted.
So you actually walk without any elevation or climbing aid. Step ONE closes this gap.
With the help of Step ONE you have automatically adjusted the important first centimetre from the first step. If it gets steeper, you can accept the UNION climbing aid.
The UNION binding's built-in climbing aid bracket has a perfect height for steeper terrain. You don't need more climbing assistance for an ergonomic ascent.
