Fits OK, Works well on Icy Slope | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I use these for cutting invasive shrubs and trees for The Nature Conservancy on icy, steep slopes. Using a chain saw is a lot safer if you have steady footing. I can also move up and down the slope to pile the brush. I like the way they grip but they tend to loosen up. There is nothing in the instructions about a quick-adjust strap system. | |

Great Crampon | |

| Used these crampons on Mt. Rainier with my Koflach Degre boots. Easy to put on and only came loose towards the end of the climb, but easy to adjust. A little on the heavier side, but other than that a great crampon to use on moderate mountain routes. | |

I would definitely buy these again! | |

| Used these for a late spring/early summer hike up Cashmere Mountain (8501 ft). They were good when crossing the boulder fields and excellent on the final ascent in deep, compact snow. | |
