The Salewa Alpinist Pro crampon is an all - purpose, tough stainless - steel step - in crampon perfect for technical ice climbing, mixed routes, and general mountaineering. Its carbon steel 3D frame is designed in a semi - rigid way that's both strong and light. It fits boots with heel and toe welts, including ski boots. The horizontal front points offer excellent grip and efficient load transfer on waterfall ice and horizontal rock edges. The well - engineered overall geometry and semi - aggressive secondary points give a better hold on ice and in snow, and the extra mid - foot spikes add more safety on icy ridges and verglas. What makes this automatic crampon truly special is its unique length - adjustable straps that eliminate loose ends, greatly reducing the risk of tripping. The Pro Version comes with the Salewa Lock System®. The flexing studded anti - balling plates that cover the entire under surface minimize snow build - up. The low - profile heel bail with a micro - adjust wheel ensures a secure and precise fit. This crampon can be quickly and easily adjusted in the field without any tools. Features include the Salewa lock system®, reduced snow accumulation due to anti - kicking bending plates that tightly shield the inner face, exchangeable parts, state - of - the - art geometry for good grip and easy movement, horizontal front points, additional mid - foot spikes and pointed anti - kick plates for a safe grip on snow - covered ridges, a 3D frame that's both rigid and lightweight, and tool - free size adjustment. Specifications: Mountaineering boot size: 235 - 330 mm, Mondopoint; Weight: 795 g.
Using the Salewa Alpinist Pro Crampon is a breeze. First, make sure your boots are the right size (235 - 330 mm, Mondopoint). Slide your boots into the crampons and use the low - profile heel bail with the micro - adjust wheel to get a snug fit. You can easily adjust the length of the unique straps without tools. When you're on the ice or snow, the horizontal front points and mid - foot spikes will give you great grip. Be careful not to step on sharp rocks that could damage the crampons. After use, clean off any snow and ice. Let them dry thoroughly to prevent rust. If you notice any parts are worn out, you can exchange them. And always check the Salewa Lock System® before each use to make sure it's working properly.
