Product Description

Steep waterfall ice, mixed climbing or hard mountain routes, the new Cyborg does it all.

ABS plates included.

Got the new version (stainless steel '09)
And they rock! Much lighter than their previous incarnations, these guys get great purchase on vertical ice and again - do not weigh you down on the approach. While I wouldn't want these guys on alpine ice duty due to more variable terrain, these are excellent for a day at Lee Vining Canyon, CA or any other local waterfall ice spot.

In all, a good single-niche (ugh) crampon for technical terrain.
