The vertical points on these crampons don't give as much purchase when being used on glaciers or steep snow. If you're looking for an all around crampon however this is a good option. The new-matic version shouldn't climb any worse than the automatic. It just depends on the type of boot you're fitting them on. Pretty much all real "Ice Boots" have a toe and heal bail that will take an automatic crampon.

I have a friend that uses new matic g14 for technical ice and really likes them. As far as gracier travel they are a bit aggressive. If you use them for that keep them dual point. The antil bots ore quite good on them.
