These are almost like a quiver item. You would need heavier crampons for anything more serious than a "likely snow crossing," but I think you could also fill in the bottom end with something like YakTracks or some sort of spikes that attach to hiking boots or shoes. | |

I've used these for several glacier and snow climbs (Hood, Shasta, etc.) and they are great. I love the light weight, and they're pretty burly. I wouldn't use them on steep ice, but their weight makes them idea for less extreme routes. They fit pretty well on my mountaineering boots, even without step-in bindings. If the route isn't super technical, I grab these before my Grivel G12s. | |

these are excellent for snowy and icy conditions. My favorite use is hiking out of Yosemite Valley when the trail is well trod and slippery as hell. Without these 1 pound crampons, I'm sliding all over the place, and with snowshoes, I'm sliding all over the ice and other people get all butt-hurt for hogging the narrow trails. | |
