Camp uses Nanoflex steel to make their Vector Nanotech Crampons 7oz lighter and 20% stronger than crampons made with standard CroMo steel. This makes them completely rustproof and allows thinner points for increased penetration while maintaining exceptional durability. The Vector Nanotech Crampons also shatter less ice than conventional crampons thanks to the Nanoflex steel's vibration absorption. Interchangeable points allow these Camp crampons to be set up with dual points for steep ice and mono points for mixed climbing.
Bottom Line: Think outside the box and climb better with the Camp Vector Nanotech Crampons.

Reliable and lightweight crampons that offer a high level of performance. I wore these on Ama Dablam several years ago and they were strong, sturdy and precision-oriented. Easy to take on and off, and great for steep snow technical routes to vertical ice. These are trustworthy crampons for technical adventures.

so i used to love these crampons. they've lead me to the top of rainer, shasta, whitney and many 11K peaks in the sierras. but when i went to south america and was traversing along a reasonably technical ridge, the steel on the crampons snapped. just snapped and left me stranded (solo) about 3 miles and 5K feet from civilization. this CAN'T happen. sent them an email asking if they could do something but it fell into a black abyss.

What is the difference in the binding systems pictured on the mono-point and the bi-point? What are the benefits of each?

From an "Outside" article (found at http://outside.away.com/outside/gear/gearguy/200205/20020506
"...can be purchased with dual points or a mono point-the latter better on routes with small point placements where dual points may lever out the main placement."
I hope that helps, cheers.

These babies went all the way. 14 beautiful points for the just in case work great! They feel super stable, are very easy to put on, even with gloves and compact very, very well. Glacier travel is stable, ice climbing is a breeze and I'm happy I bought them for sure!!!

I have used the Nanotechs twice for ice climbing (grades NEI 2-4. They seems to work very well They are light. I changed to light boots (EVOs) at the sametime and could really tell the weight diference. Of course, the nanotechs were only part of the lighter weight on each foots.
Great technical crampons

I have the non-Nanotech version, used them for ice climbing for about three years now and they are great in every aspect. Love the ability to convert between dual and monopoint. They also compact small for transport.
Almost perfect

There are only two things about these crampons I'd like to change:
1. An anti-snow balling plate. I wore them on a climb of Mont Blanc, and had to knock snow off the bottoms every few minutes. An antibot plate would be wonderful.
2. I wish the second set of points were just a wee bit larger. When front pointing, I find that the secondary points don't seem to get as deep as other sets of crampons I've used.
Otherwise, they're perfect. Light, strong, adjustable, and CAMP customer service is top rate.
