hi, I need one pair of step-in crampons for winter boots and one of semiautomatic for my summer glacier boots.
I am thinking about the sabretooth pro and serac clip for summer. What do you think about? Is a good idea to buy a cyborg for all round winter alpine hiking and climbing and a sabretooth for summer glacier activities instead of Sabretooth and serac option? Thanks

The only question to ask, is if you will be doing technical vertical ice climbing. If you are doing vertical ice climbing then you will need a crampon with vertical front points, like these, and not horizontal. Otherwise, if you are doing glacier travel then the two horizontal front point crampons are the way to go. Make sense?!
