Product Specifications
Versatile Cramponmatics can be made rigid for ice climbing or hinged for glacier walking--also include anti-balling devices to prevent snow build-up. Step-in design allows easy on and off, even with gloves or mittens; ankle straps and front bale straps offer maximum security. Three-dimensional stamping and tempering gives the chromoly steel superior strength, rigidity and durability. Easy to fit to boot size, just flex and adjust--no tools needed. For glacier travel, flex at balls of the feet matches flex points of boots for better mobility and comfort. For vertical ice, accessory bolts (included) can be used to make crampons rigid. Poured latex anti-balling plates attach to the undersides of crampons to prevent snow and ice build-up and subsequent loss of footing. Plates flex to push snow off as you walk; latex remains pliable down to -40 degrees F.

Untitled ReviewThe 12 points are nice especially when ice climbing, but for long glacial ascents they do tend to catch on everything.
All in all, a great alternative than having one rigid and one flexible pair.
