CAMP USA XLC Nanotech Crampon
Light and Fast

Definetly light, but not the most well thought out or highest quality. Everyone else uses an allen head bolt or hex head, this uses a flat blade head bolt threaded directly to the crampon, obviously for the weight. Its almost impossible not to start stripping the flat head though while installing, be carful! Anti-bot plates are very difficult to install, don't do it on the field! They are also heavier than they should be for super light crampons. The price is way to high (although they are cheaper at BC) for the quality of the crampon.
