Black Diamond Contact Strap Crampons with ABS Plates - Specification

• Easy to put on and adjust
  - the crampons are easy to adjust and the standard center bar that came with them work great
  - they are even pretty secure without the straps engaged
• Great grip
  - the bindings are very easy and quick to put on and hold a bomber grip on your boots
• Versatile
  - put them on for the climb up on early morning crust and throw them back in the pack for the ski down when the snow softens
  - they come with ABS (anti-balling plates) plates already attached which is a nice touch
  - they work very well for steep ice, but they are not designed for vertical ice climbing
  - they never popped off the boot, even when others, with step-in crampons did pop off. I think this is because as the rand wears out, the step-ins become less secure. The strap-ons don't rely on the rand, so they stay secure
  - the design is strong and easy to reshape in the field
• Lightweight
  - this is the lightest steel crampon you will ever found

• none

• Alpine routes
• Mixed routes
