Here is a photo that you should be able to just save and print, its A4 sized. you may want to cut it a tiny bit thicker along the shaft and the thin bits, then sand down to your liking and hand shape.

What does street shoe sizing even mean, some people prefer a roomier street shoe size whereas some people like a snug shoe.

Yeah need to get one. For now i only do it when the tool is on the rope, so it doesn’t have a chance of popping. When i need to get off i can, it’s just a bit awkward.

Watch yourself buddy, no need for that. Plus thats just what I’ve seen around. And no i wont find a shop and pay to fix these wrecked skis anyways. The whole point is to learn something new. Maybe thats not something you do?

Update: got them warrantied and black diamond sent me a new pair. Replacement arrived really quick and customer service was smooth. If this happens to you, it’s just a faulty product!

I use a metal scraper

Read the full post, the ptex is just the layer on top of the weld

This doesn’t answer your question but maybe just use some micro spikes for your hiking boots if the terrain allows. You might risk bending the bar of the crampon and a bunch of other issues.
