Marker Alpinist Touring Leashes
Should you find yourself in a patrolled environment or skiing steep slopes and don’t want to risk dropping your skis, a leash will come in handy. The Marker Alpinist Leashes are strong, coiled steel cable that connects to a lightweight wire-gate aluminum carabiner. The ‘biner attaches to a steel loop that should be connected to boot hardware. Clean, light, and a length that may promote ripping skins with skis on. Price is for a pair of leashes.

Are these compatible with marker alpinist 10?

Hi Joe!
They are, you bet! They are best installed during the mount due to the rather small hole used for attachment. Thanks!

What am I missing here!?! Marker Alpinist Free 13 toe piece doesn't seem to have anywhere to attach a leash. Without modifying it in some way. Base plate is flat underneath, compared to the "regular" toe that allows for a leash to thread in by the walk/ski lever. What kind of voodoo should I try here?

Hi Scott,
You're right, it does not have those gaps that the regular toe piece has, or anywhere to readily attach a leash. I think since it's a more downhill-oriented version of the Alpinist, and comes with brakes, the designers weren't really thinking about leashes while designing it. Looking at it closely, I think you could maybe thread a very thin piece of cord through the toe lever, right at the front - not the best solution, but maybe workable.

Just going to put a quiver killer in front of the binding and mount a small d-ring to it, attach the leash there.
Thanks for the reply. Would have felt pretty dumb if I was missing something as simple as a leash attachment point.
Cheers!

I bought these because they match my Alpinist bindings. Nothing special but they work just fine. The carabiner is clunkier than it needs to be and they’re priced a bit high.

Hi Skimo. Do these leashes have a breaking force that make them suitable for use in avalanche terrain? Or can you recommend a better set of leashes that have a breaking force, which also fit on the small leash mounting point of the Alpinist binding? Thanks

Hey Charlie. These do not have the breakaway component. What you can do is add some leash safe loops that you can find on the Maruelli Binding Parts page. Those should be compatible with most leashes, including these.

How do I attach the leash on a marker alpinist 9
4/3/2020
Hey Bill, when you are looking at the toe piece from above the there will be two slots on either side of the toe lever at the base, this is where you attach the leash with a girth hitch. It is very difficult to do after the toe piece has been screwed down all the way, so its best to be done while mounting.

How do I attach the leashes to the Marker alpinist bindings?

Where do you attach to the bindings? There doesn't appear to be a place I would usually use.
1/12/2020
Steve, if you are trying to attach to the Marker Alpinist binding there is a spot. Just below the pivot of the Ski/Walk lever there is a tiny hole. You can thread the string through it and out the forward facing hole along the bottom of the binding. Marker made the loop from string, trying to get another brand leash made of steel won't work easily.

Is the Marker leash sold as a pair for $59.95? The description does not specify and the picture only has a single leash?
11/5/2018
Hey Tom! Yeah, sorry for the lack of specificity in the description and the image we were given definitely only shows one leash. Ha! Sorry again about that. It'll be a pair though!
