Grivel 2F Crampomatic Crampons Crampons 

DESCRIPTION

Versatile Cramponmatics can be made rigid for ice climbing or hinged for glacier walking--also include anti-balling devices to prevent snow build-up. Step-in design allows easy on and off, even with gloves or mittens; ankle straps and front bale straps offer maximum security. Three-dimensional stamping and tempering gives the chromoly steel superior strength, rigidity and durability. Easy to fit to boot size, just flex and adjust--no tools needed. For glacier travel, flex at balls of the feet matches flex points of boots for better mobility and comfort. For vertical ice, accessory bolts (included) can be used to make crampons rigid. Poured latex anti-balling plates attach to the undersides of crampons to prevent snow and ice build-up and subsequent loss of footing. Plates flex to push snow off as you walk; latex remains pliable down to -40 degrees F.

I bought these crampons at a school organized gear swap, minus the anti-balling plates and fixing screws for a great price. I have used them on a bit of vertical ice, which they seem to work okay, but are unstable due to the lack of rigidity w/o screws (and my boots aren''t fully rigid either). I have mostly used them for glacier travel for which they work fantastically. I have never had any problems with snow balling up, even without the plates. The only complaint I may have is that the crampon doesn''t bend in the exact same place as my boot, and this can''t be adjusted once they are fit to your boot. I''m not sure how bad that is though, since I haven''t had any problems, yet. Overall, ideal for my minimal vert and major glacier walking, but I wouldn''t pay $180 for them.
