Too easy to put the Sarken and the Sabertooth into a "general crampon" catagory. You shouldn't. Both are unique and offer different features that other crampons don't.<br /><br />Weights?

Re: horizontal point crampons, is there a reason no one ever mentions the Petzl Vasak? Seems similar to the G12/Sabers, comes in non-weird heel and wire bail, and (they claim) ~2 oz lighter than Sabers. Are they terrible or some reason I'm missing, or do people just go BD or Grivel because that's what you hear about?Ralph P.noreply@blogger.com
