Item #BLD0980 | 1 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great for Alpine, good for WI

By Ranked #683 - Crampons February 16, 2007

Not one to normally spray about gear, I thought I might be able to contribute a little diversity of experience regarding this particular product. Have climbed in these on three continents up to 7000 m. No problem. These are some seriously rugged crampons.
I would, however recommend a crampon with monopoints for any steep (WI5 and above) waterice or tough mixed/drytooling routes. So, if you're planning on climbing some steep ice or rock and are short on cash, go ahead and spend on the Cyborg (also by BD), instead. That way you can switch out points and end up saving $.
