Thought you guys would really enjoy this epic tele-trip: https://mountainwagon.com/the-blog/inte ... -a-monster
I am so used to these kinds of things being done on AT skis it was refreshing to see a tele setup although it looks like a tech binding with a tele heel? The crevasse self rescue setup sounds... optimistic.

Thanks for the link, really nice to see a fast traverser going Telemark. The crevasse self-rescue does make sense for a solo tour, if you are alone and go down in a crevasse - you are more or less fucked without climbing gear - the chance of anyone finding you down in the hole are almost non-existant, your only chance is to get up by your self, badly injured or not. For myself, I dont pass glaciers when going solo, but I now seriously consider to bring a version of his set-up because there is a lot of time savings if you dont have to go around glaciers.
What does surprise me, is that he dont carry an airbag system on a solo trip.
