Sarken Crampon

Anti-balling plates are special components that attach to your crampons to prevent snow and ice from accumulating underneath your feet. This buildup can make it difficult to walk or climb safely, reducing traction and stability. By keeping the crampon clear of snow, anti-balling plates enhance your safety and performance on icy terrain.

The Fil toe bail is a binding mechanism designed to securely attach your crampon to boots that have both toe and heel welts (the raised edges on the boot). This ensures that the crampon stays firmly in place during climbing, providing you with the stability and confidence you need on challenging surfaces.

The Fil toe bail is meant for boots with both toe and heel welts, while the Fil Flex toe bail is designed specifically for boots that only have heel welts. The Fil Flex toe bail offers greater versatility, allowing you to use your crampons with a wider range of boot styles, making it a great option for climbers with different footwear.

Bi-position linking bars are adjustable components that connect the front and back parts of your crampon. The "bi-position" feature allows you to set these bars in two different positions, accommodating various boot sizes (from size 36 to 50). This means you can achieve a better fit, enhancing comfort and performance while climbing.

Yes! The Alpen Adapt system allows you to customize your crampons by making them compatible with different Petzl crampon accessories. This flexibility enables you to adapt your crampons for various climbing conditions or personal preferences, ensuring you have the right setup for your specific needs.

Choosing crampons with features like anti-balling plates, adjustable linking bars, and customizable binding options ensures that you have the best equipment for safety, comfort, and performance. These features help you tackle a variety of climbing conditions with confidence, making your outdoor adventures more enjoyable and successful.
