Petzl Sarken Crampon

Absolutely Great Alpine Crampons

By Ranked #462 - Crampons March 11, 2009

Though I prefer mono points for true vertical waterfall ice, these things are great for just about all else. I have used the prior iteration of these things in the cascades, colorado, ecuador and peru and they have served well on everything from glacier jaunts to serious alpine routes. Ignore the foolish recall review...these are the updated version (and, from everyone I've talked to, even the recalled version was pretty much bomber - petzl was just being extremely cautious in recalling the originals).
