I guess the bottom line for me is this: Nobody, well almost, is climbing in the totally rigid boots of yesteryear, and the takehome is that most modern boots, due to demand and construction are getting silly light (imho a great thing) and thus they have a little flex. So I would hope all crampon designs would take that into account, rather than blaming the boot. Petzl handled the rather similar breakage issue with the 1st edition Sarken admirably: offering a recall for replacement, and a change in design as well as a new heat treatment and clear stamping on the frames of all V2 Sarkens. Ice climbing, alpinism and especially any of the above at altitude demand 100% confidence. Adding a few ounces of metal to ensure that reliability seems to outweigh marketing your product as the "lightest". Interesting that the new Petzl Lynx matches the Saber with 14 points, 12 of them down.

asking for people's opinion about gear on the web is not being consumed by market hype but real research. And where is the "bunch of whining" on this thread? Usual internet resort to confrontation by accusation of entire population. Kinda seemed like preaching then some combination of whining AND crying. Have to agree with many posters here, light & compact, not a sponge, etc. My two cents is the new wave of trim harnesses that mimic stretch softshell in waist and legbands are setting the new standard. Advice is buy one. Was skeptical of the dead bird leg loop mesh but I am 100% sold on it, very comfortable and durable, absorbs zero water, best material for the weight and packed size, and really doesn't feel like the whole rig is even there whether climbing sport, trad or ice.

What? Your harness came with a fortune cookie? Kinda a better idea to prosper from real suffering, or maybe just survive it, than from saving a few grams. Agree with Keenwesh, nice to have a harness that works for sport, trad, alpine and ice. Kinda nice to spend more but less than for two.

First bit of advice is you probably don't need adjustable leg loops. As long as you have room to loosen the waistbelt enough to go OVER your shell jacket you should be fine. My experience has been very good with regular leg loops as one is not adding as many layers as on a serious mountaineering trip, where adjustment is a great feature. Kinda seems like harness design has separated ice from mountaineering so don't use a mountaineering harness (ala BD Couloir) if you like uncrushed nuts and kidneys. Second, minimal padding and material are a big plus. For one thing these absorb water and then get heavy and frozen, and dont dry quickly. For another you will be wearing a ton more layers than summer rock, so layers provide the padding. Besides, you will be carrying more crap with ice/alpine and sleeker harnesses take up a lot less space and weigh less, especially if they are not big frozen sponges. As for ice clippers, I am not sold on those, but the Petzl Hirundos was my favorite and takes two. Have been using an Arcteryx S220lt and was surpised by how well it works. Who would think a sport harness would work so well for ice but it does, especially the mesh leg loops!

Just five?

Just be sure the WC Heliums arent subject to the current recall. Minimum # is 10 draws 12 better. DMM is the best Aeros and Spectre 2 are reasonably priced, Alpha Sport are awesome, ditto Alpha Trad. Snag free gates are the new standard, wire or solid gate.
