Overview
Glacier travelers and ski tourers are the people this compact crampon is made for. The hybrid layout joins a steel front piece to an aluminum heel piece through a flexible CORD-TEC link.
Weight reduction is the point of the hybrid build, which suits long approaches. The modular ALPEN ADAPT system allows components to be replaced or adapted. How the crampon attaches to boots is not spelled out.
Who it's for
Glacier routes and classic mountaineering where weight counts are the setting. Technical ice climbers should check the details, since the listing stresses glacier and ski touring.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight hybrid construction
- Compact for ski touring
- ANTISNOW against snow buildup
- Flexible link between sections
- Boot fitting details not provided
- Aluminum heel instead of steel
Performance notes
The steel front section supplies the bite on hard snow and ice, while the aluminum heel cuts weight on the foot. A flexible link joins the two so the crampon packs small and flexes with the boot.
