Yeah the cyborg would be ideal. the sabretooth can get you through a ouray trip for sure, but its more of the all around spike.

Certainly can, but they're kind of an all-around crampon. If you're going to be using them for exclusively technical ice, you'd be better off with something like the Cyborg (http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0956/Black-Diamond-Cyborg-Crampons.html). It's worth the extra 30 or 40 bucks.
