Preferred over BD's Sabretooth Pro

Truly excellent design and feel. I love these crampons! Highly adjustable, fast to put on, light in the pack, and super solid. I prefer them over BD's Pro version, but mostly because I wear Scarpa Mont Blanc boots, which give room for lateral movement of the Pro's foreplate. The Clip version is more solidly in place on a variety of boots and still has the tenacious grip of the Pros. I can frontpoint in these very effectively, as well as French technique on icy slopes. The strap attachment is simple and effective. Mixed climbing is just fine because they fit my boot so well. I would highly recommend these as a solid pair of "do all" 'pons. Thank you Black Diamond!
