Good frontpoints but they aren't replaceable

By Jacon Mayer Ranked #190 - Crampons September 30, 2009

This is a nice all-around crampon - works well on mixed snow/ice terrain, and light enough for glacier work. In particular, I like the shape of the frontpoints, especially for vertical snow conditions (they get nice and wide near the back of the fps).

That said, you can't replace them. You have to replace the whole front piece, which is obnoxious.

Finally, I can find no discernible advantage to the Sidelock. In fact, it's kind of a pain in the ass.
