Petzl Vasak 12-Point Mountaineering Crampon

The classic design of the Petzl Vasak FL Mountaineering Crampons makes them an ideal choice for general mountaineering and glacier travel. The horizontal front points provide excellent shear resistance in steep snow. Petzl gave the Vasak FL Crampons a Flexlock full-strap binding system to allow them to be strapped to any boots or even your trail running shoes in a pinch. Whether you want to climb Rainer or climb Denali, these Petzl crampons get you up there.

Bottom Line: The Petzl Vasak FL Mountaineering Crampons are proof that simple designs still provide great performance.

This is kinda weird, but is it possible to buy these individually (as in not a pair set)? Maybe directly from Petzl? I already have one and just need one other.

Sturdy Crampons

By:
April 16, 2008

These 'pons are exactly as advertised. A light-ish strap crampons perfect for mountaineering, or just hiking up a slushy trail. I would not recommend them for ice climbing, or anything that requires serious front-pointing, as they are not designed for use with plastic boots. If you want serious ice-climbing performance, buy something else. But if you want a light pair of crampons which will add a much-needed sense of safety while ascending steep or slippery slopes, the Vasaks are perfect.

What binding system would work best for lightweight mountaineering

What binding system would work best for lightweight mountaineering boots (Kayland MXT, heel welt, no toe welt) and some Garmont Radiums?

This binding system would work really well for any type of boot out there. Otherwise you would have to go with a 'newmatic' style binding, which is a front strap-on style and a heel lever.

They should work fine as long as your boot sole length isn't too long for the crampons...I have a huge boot (30.5 mondo) and it still fit in the last notch of most crampons.

I wear a size 47 mountaineering boot, does anyone know if the regular linking bar will fit, or will I definitely need a long linking bar setup?

The regular/medium link bar that comes with it goes up to size 46. So you would need to get the long link bar for a size 47 boot.

As stated above, these are pretty light crampons and can help add safetey to mountaineering or slushy trails, but serious ice climbing they would not be strong enough.
