Thread: Advice please: boot/crampon compatibility

Thanks all! It is as I feared... anyone want to buy a cheap pair of mountaineering crampons before they go back on TradeMe?

I've been browsing AliExpress and there are a few lookalikes to the ones you suggest, @stug. Are crampons one of those items you don't want to risk your neck on cheap crappy gear, or would anything be better than nothing? Looking at these ones.

I'd wondered about something like that, @7x64 & @Hahn. Nice & compact. I wasn't sure if they would give enough bite around the edges, but possibly better for general bumbling about.

Yep, got an axe already. An alpine course sounds like a good idea, @Happy Jack.
