Dru Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 E-rock said: I'd just like to say that ski crampons are environmentally unsound. The reason I skin is to tread as lightly as possible in the mountain environment. I want to caress the snow, leaving as little trace of my passing as possible. Cramponing is a destructive, brutal technique, that penetrates and and irritates the delicate sensibilities of glacial ice, and sun-hardened snow. I do not condone ski-crampons in the backcountry. Anyone who uses them is raping the alpine envirnment in a fashion akin to bolting at crags. If you can't travel in the mountains without inserting your metal tentacles, I say STAY AT HOME. Quote
DMP Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I have never used mine. I quit taking them with me last year. Quote
