Niche crampon

I am a mountain guide, so I own alot of crampons, and each one has a use...these are the ones I bring along for neve (hard/firm snow) or when I don't think I will really need some. Great for this as they are so light and with the steel tips, you can actually get them to bite in when you really need to climb. If you are doing some all day walking in firm to icey conditions, go with a real crampon!
