Design history:
All our crampons have been designed and manufactured in our factory in Chamonix (France), at the base of Mont Blanc.
In the field, they are put to the test by our team of partner athletes and high-altitude guides.
Number of studs:
12 point crampons:
- 2 hot forged vertical front points for maximum rigidity.Replaceable points.You can switch to monopoint.
- 7 side points.the first 2 are angled towards front to provide good level of stability on steep ice
- 3 spurs
Asymmetric crampons:3 inner points on each foot are lined up for maximum traction on overhang.The 3 exterior points follow contours of boot shape to provide a good level of stability.
Binding system:
- Back binding system:removable back heel for shoes with rear welts
- Flexible back binding system:
automatic with metal brackets for shoes with front welts or semi-automatic with soft plastic for shoes without front welts
- Note:the binding systems at the front and back are fully removable and can be replaced with all other fastening systems in the SIMOND crampon range (sold separately).
Size adjustment:
- Adjusts to boot sizes from 36 to 48.
- Size adjustment using the centre bar + strip/stud.
- Crampons adjust by default to smaller to medium size boots (without bar sticking out at the back).
For larger size boots, you can change bar position at front end by shifting it.
