Black Diamond Cyborg Clip Crampons

Item #BLD0492 | 13 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Great crampons with slight flaw

By Ranked #336 - Ice Climbing May 30, 2009

The thin metal strip is the achilles heel of these. I've used these for a year mountaineering and ice climbing, and from the start the strip has nearly welded at the toe bail. The result is the strip bends over itself at an angle. I have tried cleaning it out, but again on a trip in ouray the thing seized and had to bend over itself to tighten. It has developed a crack in the metal from tightening it while frozen/bent and I'm sure it will fail soon. Cobes.
