Petzl Sarken Crampon

Item #PTZ0234 | 13 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Not bad, not my favorite

By Ranked #32 - Crampons December 23, 2011

A perfectly capable ice climbing crampon, however with my kicks I felt it displaced too much ice. My problem is the inability to change out the front points, as this is advertised as an ice climbing/mountaineering crampon. After a few years of climbing mixed alpine routes and mountaineering with this I'd be afraid what the front points would look like. I personally prefer the BD Cyborg as a one-size-fits-all crampon (although I haven't climbed in the Lynx's yet, so my opinion may change).
