Good Technical Crampons

By Kevo Ranked #130 - Ice Climbing October 6, 2009

After having these for several years they have proved to be great crampons for more technical use. They are solid performers all around. Unlike old "vertical rail" super rigid crampons that people climbed vertical ice with, these are much more versatile. The design allows for a little bit of flex which makes walking significantly easier and much more natural when you aren't on super steep terrain. The flex is a non issue for climbing though, as boots with a toe bail will have a stiff enough shank to support front pointing.

The attachment system is nice and secure as well. Replaceable front points offer added value over other brands. When you wear out your front points, replace them without buying a whole new set of crampons.

While they aren't ideal for glacier travel, they are great if you will be crossing a glacier on approach to an alpine climb. All in all, SOLID!
