About to buy my first crampons and I need some help!
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:04 am
I have been mountaineering for 3 years now. I had a hand me down pair of crampons that got lost during my move to California. So know I am on the market for a new pair but with all of the options I really cannot deiced. A buddy of mine that rock climbs pointed me here so I hope you can help.
I do class 1-3 mountaineering. I have done ST helens, hood and baker and some winter hiking. I was looking at a couple of pairs but I really can not figure out which on to pick with all of the different options out there. I was looking at the:
Black Diamond Cyborg
Grivel G-12 New-Matic
Petzl Vasak Crampon
I would use them for snow, ice/glacier and rock travel. I would need them for steep faces as well but not waterfall ice climbing. I am not at that level yet. I appreciate any help
