Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding DO NO TUSE

I just mounted these and the climbing wires seem hard to put back down. Is this normal? I am used to the G3 Targa T9s that I could pull up or hit down with a pole, but these are to hard to do that with. Is there a way to change this? Also, is it possible to mount both long and short climbing wires on these?

I have both long and short climbing wires mounted and was glad to have both on a recent Haute Route tour in Switzerland. They are difficult to move with a ski pole though (especially up) and usually required reaching down and doing by hand - a bit of a pain but not a big deal unless you are randonee racing. The heel was the only negative aspect of the O1 bindings

That's normal, my O2s do the same thing. I believe you can mount both if you nest the small one inside the big one.
