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.

Sweet crampons. Easy to adjust. Sweet rigid / semi-rigid adaptability.
Antiballing plates work great. No balling up on slushy, wet, or dry powdery snow.
What else can you say? They're crampons. They work like they should.
I wouldn't get TOO steep with them. They flex a fair amount when it gets steep and hard. But these are horizontal frontpoint light mountaineering crampons.
Pros:
Easy to use.
No snow balling.
Easy to adjust
Light
Cons:
Not versatile enough to handle the vertical with confidence.
Change me.
