Sorry, but this thread is getting a little dry. If we're going to talk about affine mappings and wierd geometric structures, we might as well talk about Tits.

PS on a serious note, Newmatic crampons are probably the ideal alpine ice/snow crampons. Most boots designed for mountaineering have a heel ledge which work with Newmatic crampons, and they fit securely on those and are quick and easy to put on. You can also use them on plastic or heavy leather boots with a toe ledge whereas crampons with wire toe bails ("crampomatic") will not work on boots without toe ledges and may not work on every boot with them (e.g., G14s don't seem to fit well on Lowa Mountain Experts).
