I bet they work great on most routes, especially for a lightweight guy like myself. Nice looking plates, Steve. Mine are not nearly as clean (might be a fall project to make some better ones) but I am a big fan of the homemade variety and they seem to often work better than store-bought ones in my experience. I prefer to attach mine with zip-ties instead of duct-tape.

What are your opinions on this same crampon for us heavier folks hovering around 200 lbs or more - I am wondering if something like the XLC nanotech might be better for us ? Hey Lou –

They are clearly going to be less durable than steel, but the weight saving is so nice... I have scrambled over a fair bit of rock in mine without any damage.

Had them on for 12 of the 18hr car to car and never had an issue. The weight is awesome and even with all the mixed moves we had to make near the summit, the points stayed in good shape. Definitely a strong choice when weight matters...then again, when doesn't it? Lou….I used these for a nasty glacier ice/scree scramble up Shasta in August and couldn’t have been more psyched.
