Review on Discover PETZL VASAK - Premium Crampons for Classic Mountaineering by Steven Lane

Used them on the San Gorgonio Vivian Creek Trail via High Creek in the snow (7 miles in Southern California). Snow covered the switchbacks so they went straight up and down the gorge section of the ridge on a fairly steep slope. The micro-studded friend was basically gliding through the snow in such a tight clump; I'm stuck in cats like glue. I left them on for 10k shifts and climbed to the top. They are also stable on ice - the teeth really dig in. Easy to use, lightweight, NO snowballs even in knee deep snow. Would give ten stars if I could! By the way, I'm a little girl, hiking boots size 6.5-7 and they fit my shoes perfectly! I walked through San G with a man who is a SAR volunteer and he also liked the cats.
