Dan tackles a bit of scrambling on the mixed summit ridge of Finsteraarhorn in the Berner Alps. These crampons are super light and fit really snug on ski boots, but have the added bonus of stronger steel points for those (all too often) times when getting after some rocks is part of the ascent. My regular XLC crampons are just a bit too soft for extended mixed climbing like this...
