Description

These light alloy crampons are suited to easy climbs and glacier traverses. They will also perform suitably for ski touring and technical alpinism. Aluminum is not as durable as steel for travel over rock and hard ice, so these will be best where hard snow is more likely to be encountered.

Strengths: light weight
Weaknesses: strength
Conclusions: The universal new classic design will fit any regular boot style. Only fitment issue was the bar that is included only fits smaller boot sizes. My boot length is 13.5 inches and required me to buy a longer bar. As well they don't include a bag but anti snow plates are.

The Grivel Air tech light design works great for a 10 point and never let me down. My only issue was the light weight materials used. It only lasted me about 5-6 trips and the points started to break. I'm about 6' and very hard on my equipment.

Personally these would work great for a smaller person thats is under 180lbs. And can remember to stay on the softer materials to prolong the points.

Enjoy..
