Designed for the ever - changing, moderately challenging terrains of classic mountaineering routes in areas such as the Tetons, the Alps, and the Cascades, the Black Diamond Serac Crampons are a must - have. These lightweight 12 - point crampons come in three different setups, making them compatible with all types of mountain boots. The redesigned stainless - steel build is not only tough and rust - resistant but also prevents snow from balling up. It features a smart design with a rocker in the front rail, fitting modern mountain boots perfectly. The horizontal front - points offer a firm grip on icy steps, while the classic secondary points and solid rear points ensure stability when descending or on low - angle ground. Product features include a low - profile micro - adjust heel bail for a precise fit. The Pro version is ideal for technical boots, the Clip version suits mountain boots without a toe welt, and the Strap version is for non - technical shoes. If you plan to use them on ski boots, you'll need to order wide toe bails separately. They also come with front and rear dual - density ABS. Weight per pair: Strap is 860g and Clip is 905g.
Using your Black Diamond Serac Crampons is straightforward. First, choose the right version based on your boots - the Pro for technical boots, Clip for mountain boots without a toe welt, and Strap for non - technical shoes. Attach the crampons to your boots securely, adjusting the low - profile micro - adjust heel bail for a perfect fit. When using on ski boots, remember to order the wide toe bails separately and attach them. On the mountain, the horizontal front - points are great for getting a good grip on icy steps, while the classic secondary and rear points will keep you stable when going down or on flatter ground. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the crampons to remove dirt and snow. The stainless - steel construction is durable and rust - resistant, but keeping them clean will help them last even longer. Store them in a dry place to prevent any possible corrosion.
