Black Diamond Contact Strap Crampon

Item #BLD1048 | 31 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Crampon case sold separately

By Ranked #253 - Ice Climbing July 5, 2005

These worked out great with my lightweight Vasque hiking boots and took me up Mt. Whitney with no problems. Two observations: Strap fastening system seems a little less secure than it could be. Heel bale would hold better if it were taller and there's no obvious way to deal with the excess strap other than cutting off as much as possible(however this is my first pair of crampons so maybe you experts know tricks that I don't). Also, what, no carry case at this price?! At least they fit in the pouch that usually holds my climbing skins.
