    This product is for…

    Ice and mixed climbers who want a high-performance crampon that also handles glacier travel. The modularity suits those who want to optimize for different front-point configurations or share components across setups.

    Worth noting…

    Modularity allows swapping front sections, which can save money or reduce pack weight. The dual front-point configuration is preferred on convex surfaces; mono point is the other common setup.
