Stubai Ultralight

This 10 point design (with significant front points) is a remarkably versatile crampon that is strong, light and easily adjustable for any boot. It is great for mountaineering and glacier travel and is CE approved! We have found that it is sturdy enough to handle walking on rocks or scree (we don't recommend this, but if you are reasonably delicate, we've found the ultralights can take it).

The Ultralight is made of aluminum alloy with a spring steel connector bar, guaranteeing the best comfort when walking and the best fitting to all types of boots. Length adjustment is completed simply and securely without the use of wrenches or tools. Although it is available in three different binding styles, we prefer the Universal Speed binding and Combi binding. This combination offers great security with any boot shape or size.

G12 is a classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice and rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes. Despite the modern climber's tendency to use crampons with more technical capacity and weight than necessary it should be remembered that virtually every "hard" alpine route in Alaska or Chamonix may be done with G12. The horizontal front points provide better support in hard snow than vertically oriented points so G12 is especially suited to maritime climates where rime ice (rather than water ice) is expected. Three different types of bindings are available to adapt to virtually any type of footwear. Cramp-O-Matic binding is also available in XL for very large boots.
