While snowshoeing into Isolation on Saturday I had a very inconvenient equipment failure near the junction of the Rocky Branch and Isolation Trails. On my Denali Evo's, the little pin (with ring and washer) that holds the binding and crampon to the Snowshoe base disappeared (this is also the pivot point). I tried a few field repairs with tie wraps, shoelaces and even the key ring thing from my thermometer. Nothing I tried was stong enough to last more than a few steps. So, disappointed, my partners and I turned around and slogged back to the trail head (really wasn't that bad but was much better with snowshoes). My questions are; have others had this failure? Is this common? Should I be carrying extra pins, rings and washers?
