Petzl Charlet Vasak

Classic 12-point mountaineering crampon

The Petzl Vasak Leverlock used to come in various models with different binding options, i.e. a toe clip at the front (which could only be used with B3 boots) or a plastic basket which could be used with B2 boots also. All that has changed with the Petzl Vasak Leverlock Universal which comes with both binding options - the picture above explains all!

The Vasak crampon has been designed for general purpose mountaineering with twelve points that ensure maximum traction in all conditions, whether you are climbing up steep slopes or ice couloirs.

To save weight, the frame of the crampon and the teeth have been thinned down a little on this new model. When the metal toe clip is used the weight is 840g. When the plastic basket is used the weight is 875g. ( note that the plastic basket assembly includes a metal component hence the slightly extra weight)
