Thread: crampons?

The ones with massive aggro looking front points are for technical ice climbing, you don't need those ones. The ones with no front points at all aren't much good on anything that isn't flat, so you don't want those either. Something in the middle should do the trick - 12 points (maybe 10 if you're a lightweight), clip-on ones need boots with the right bail bits to clip onto so strap-on ones can be a bit more versatile. Clear as mud? Something like this:
