The Petzl Sarken is a crampon which can be used for both classical mountain routes and for harder more technical routes. This crampon is based on a classic 12 point design but the two front points are very unique compared to any other crampon on the market. The front two teeth are shaped like a T with a slightly longer downward facing point on. This means that they work well when walking on or climbing on soft snow (standard technical points tend to rail).

The Petzl Irvis Hybrid is are hybrid crampons for ski touring and approaches involving glacier travel. Opt for a tool that’s lightweight and durable! The Petzl Ivris Hyrbrid crampons have a steel front piece and aluminum heel piece, offering an excellent balance between performance, technicality and weight, as well as traction on ice.

The Salewa Alpinist Combi crampons were designed specifically with the Salewa Vultur boots in mind, they provide the perfect fit for everything the boots are designed for; mountaineering, glacier travel and low-to-mid grade Scottish winter walking and climbing. The Alpinist Combi is also seriously light, weighing in at just 830g per pair.

The well-trusted Black Diamond Express Ice Screw has been around for years and happens to be the easiest and fastest placing ice screw on the market. They have seen a few improvements in their time, the most recent being lengthening of the teeth, the addition of a second clipping point on the hanger and adding a bevel shape on the colour coded handle to improve grip. The handle allows the screw to be spun in or out of the ice with speed, and without changing hand position. The tube of the screw is tapered out so that the teeth cut a slightly larger hole than the tube - this reduces friction during placements.

The Blue Ice Aero Ice Screws are the ideal choice for technical routes, where performance, durability and weight are key. They have been built with an innovative 3-tooth tip design for quick and easy use. The tip and tube of the screw is made with steel to maintain durability and the walls are thin, which reduces the weight considerably. Colour-coding easily indicates the length of the screw.

The Blue Ice Aero Lite Ice Screws have been built with an innovative 3-tooth steel bit for technical mountaineering and are the lightest ice screws currently available on the market. The body and hanger have been made with aluminium to minimize weight, whilst the foldable crank is stainless steel. They are available in 4 lengths of 13cm, 16cm, 19cm and 22cm.
