Dustin_B Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Do you have them; do you like them? (for general glacier travel). Any possibility of front pointing on firm snow with them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I think this has been covered here before, but in short, yes, they work great for what they are. They aren't as good as sharp steel crampons in really hard snow or ice (obviously) but they sure are a hellavu lot better than nothing. I found I actually used these more than any other crampon I have this past summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobinc Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Frontpointed many hundreds of feet down from C-J col on one occasion with no problems. I wouldn't necessarily recommend depending on them for this all the time, but no failure in that case. If you don't expect much serious stuff, they are an excellent choice because of their weight and ease of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leejams Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Dustin, I went to PMS to buy a pair of those. Ended up going with the stubai tirol instead. No regrets with the tirol. A great all around crampon and about 10 ounces more. The ultralight are good as well. For me it seemed that I would be better off going with an all purpose crampon.
