The top-of-the-line Black Diamond crampon is lightweight and compact for speed touring. Made entirely from aluminum, it packs down very small

Intro

Despite being engineered from aluminum, these can be considered a 'real crampon'. Weighing just over 400 g, it features ten well-spaced points that provide stability on hardpack and traverses. The integrated anti-balling plate works very well at reducing snow build up. Efficient cable adjustment, with minimal elastic creep. Excellent for use on snow during ski touring missions, but nothing too extreme.
