johndavidjr Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 I just searched board but failed to locate comment on Kahtoola crampons. Does anybody have experience, or views on their effectiveness & limitations? I think Pro Mt sells them. Remarkably light. Quote
layton Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 My friend wore them on an approach in the sierras while I wore some ultralight aluminum. Mine are definately less durable than his and equal weight, but no frontpoints really sucks. Long story short, my buddy thought he was gonna die on the bullet hard approach ice to the rock while I was fine. Beats duct-taping my sabertooths to my boulders like i used to do. yikes! I'd only get the katoolas for walk up routes w/no frontpointing whatsoever. Quote
johndavidjr Posted June 6, 2004 Author Posted June 6, 2004 Yeah I reckon. Just found relevant thread in the "online mailorder" section of this board. Quote
