Crampon straps too short for Inverno's

[rvilter]

I have size 12 Scarpa Invero's and my crampon straps are barely long enough to tie off.

 

Any suggestions out there for a general purpose mountaineeiring crampon with long-enough straps to avoid this problem?

Hello capitalist!

Everything made in my homeland too short, try step-in.

Thank you for allow oriental to post.

what kind of crampons?

[rvilter]

Grivel G-12's with a new matic binding.

 

Thanks.

The solution is actually pretty simple.

 

The straps on G-12s are essentially almost not load bearing. I had the same problem on 2Fs when using AT boots and simply replaced the grivel straps with inexpensive nylon straps with plastic buckles (tri-glides?)(the ones that double back the webbing but DO NOT split apart). It all might sound bizzare, but if you think about it, those starps are rarely that tight.

 

Double the staps back (feed through the back of the buckle) to ensure that they never come apart.

I got a pair of aluminum Stubai crampons for my size 12's, and had to cut about a foot off the straps because they were so damn long. Take your boots into PMS and try the crampons on them.

My G-12s are barely long enough for my AT boots. Just replace the strap w/something longer, duh.
