Overview
A mountaineer or ice climber gets a crampon where the points and frame are made from chromoly steel. The listing says it gives a lasting bite, a touch of flex for walking and a low gram count.
Chromoly is described as lighter and stronger than other steel alloys, and the G12 Evo is redesigned for more rugged performance. It covers ice, snow and rocky ground. Front point type and boot fit are not listed.
Who it's for
A climber who walks and climbs on ice, snow and rock and wants a long-lasting steel crampon. Anyone unsure of boot fit, or who wants an aluminum crampon for weight, should check the maker's guidance.
Pros and cons
- Chromoly steel points and frame
- Lower weight for steel
- Some flex for walking
- Suits several terrains
- Boot compatibility not listed
- Front point type not described
- Heavier than aluminum
Performance notes
Hard steel points bite into ice and stay sharp longer, and a frame with some flex makes walking easier. A binding that matches the boot sole decides how securely the crampon stays on. Chromoly lowers weight at a given strength.
