nice adjustability

By Ranked #611 - Crampons June 13, 2003

I bought these as my first pair, and chose the high end of the spectrum because of the recommendation from the sales guy and that they are adjustable. I can switch between double and single point, and even with single, slightly turn them in or out by adjusting the boot clip. They initially rusted only the first time, but after that were fine. I take care of them, oiling and keeping dry. Great so far. Can't wait for snow. I suppose the only drawback may be that there is no strap completely around the boot, meaning if you were mountaineering and they came off, you might lose them. But being on vertical ice, never had them slip off. Just make sure you get them on tight.
