Someone is getting stung!
Wore out my last pair guiding, can only sharpen them so many times! (yes the bottom points lol) Only issue I ever had was the front bail snapped...while leading *yikes* Cheaper plated metal, not stainless steel like the good ol' days. Please consider fixing this on future models. That said they are a fantastic crampon!

Stingers!
Got the email that the stingers were back in stock last week and ran to the outfitter to grab my pair! Can’t wait for this season! Like all BD crampons they are solid! Never used monos before and can’t with to see if the hype is real!

Back into ice climbing
I used to climb a lot some 20+ years ago and decided to get back into it. The ease of use and the holding power of the mono point is impressive on the brittle glacier fronts that I have worked on in the last few weeks. I'm very happy with this purchase. One mishap after three days of using: the stainless retainer clip that keeps the length of the crampon to your needs did somehow bend open a bit and it wouldn't stay to what you set it to. I needed some special tools to get in the clip to bend it back.

Climb Great
Had been climbing in the blade runners, but couldn’t find replacement front points, so ordered some Stingers. They climb great, easy to set the fit and and didn’t ball snow while walking around. Like all BD gear, super solid piece of equipment.

Great ice crampon!
A upgrade from Sabertooths. Even with the loss of a second front-point, my feet feel more secure in these on all ice that I've climbed. Can't say I've felt the same mixed climbing in these, however.

My Fav!
I have had a couple pairs of Stingers over the years and they are always super high performing, confidence inspiring, long lasting, and durable. Pretty much everything I want in my gear.

Good crampons
I have previously tried a number of different crampons and even had the cyborg crampons and converted them to mono point and I decided I would give these a try. Really like the feel and fit. So far they have held up with not issues. Will see how they do for the rest of the season!

Great crampon, well built, mono
Great crampon, well built, mono point makes a world of difference. Surprisingly its actually very stable and penetrates the ice with little effort.

Second pair of BD crampons- had Cyborgs too which I converted to mono- these are MUCH better suited for steep ice and mixed.
