Salewa Alpinist Combi Crampon

The Climbing Technology Nupste Evo is an excellent value 12 point crampon which, in the semiautomatic binding, is suitable for B2 or B3 flex mountaineering boots. This version has a plastic front strap and a quick-fit heel clip to engage at the back of the boot. So the Nupste Evo Semiautomatic will work well with Salewa Vultur GTX and Scarpa Manta Pro GTX for example.

The Monta Rosa is lightweight, flexible crampon for general mountaineering use. They can be fully adjusted by hand, and can be folded easily, which makes them ideal for packing them into bags. Where this crampon excels is in ski touring, trekking, and for those with smaller boots that require less points under foot.

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!

Built for the variable, moderate terrain of classic mountaineering routes in places like the Tetons, the Alps and the Cascades, the Black Diamond Serac Crampon is a lightweight, 12-point crampon available in three different configurations to be compatible with any kind of mountain boot. The Serac's redesigned stainless steel construction incorporates a strong, yet light design with rocker in the front rail to accommodate modern mountain boots.
