Description:

Buy it at the Mountaineer.

Crampons for difficult routes in the high mountains: steep snow and ice slopes and couloirs, gullies, mixed climbing.

Front pointing:
*2 front points, toothed and thin-section for optimal penetration on ice,
fitted under flat points for good bearing power on snow and soft ice (gullies)
*next 2 points are notched and inclined forward for stability

Walking on 10 points:
*lateral points are separated to respect the asymmetry of the boot and to limit the "rail" effect which increases the risk of slipping
*supplied with ANTISNOW to prevent snow build-up

Adjustment is easy (no tools) and precise (to the half-size)

Available with 3 types of binding systems:
*SIDELOCK, for boots with front and rear sole overlaps (wire at front and rear); rapid-fastening lateral binding system, avoiding the encumbrance of a heel-bail
*SPIRLOCK, for boots with a rear sole overlap (wire at the rear, flexible binding at the front). Strap fastening system, avoiding the encumbrance of a heel-bail
*LEVERLOCK, for boots with a rear sole overlap. Heel bail with micrometric adjustment and wide adjustment range at the rear

Technical specifications:
Vertical Dual points (forged)
Semi-rigid
Weight: 2 lbs

Recommend? yes | Price paid: $99.00 | Rating: 10

Pros:	Light, they climb everything well
Cons:

I bought these crampons to use them as more generic crampons than my M10.
I like them a lot, they are light and they climb well everything, snow, ice, mixed and they are suitable for long walk on snow. (my M10 are not..)
Highly suggested.
