Shop High-Performance Crampons for Climbing and Mountaineering

When you’re heading into snow, ice, or mixed mountain terrain, your gear needs to hold up—especially what’s strapped to your feet. That’s where a solid pair of crampons comes in. Whether you’re kicking steps up a frozen couloir or crossing slick glacier ice, the right pair can be the difference between a stable climb and a sketchy slip. At Mountain Extreme, we’ve stocked our shelves with crampons that we actually trust—gear that’s been tested in real conditions and chosen by climbers who live for the mountains.

Why Petzl Crampons Are a Go-To Choice for Serious Climbers

Ask any seasoned mountaineer what they’re using on their boots, and chances are you’ll hear the name Petzl. And for good reason. Petzl crampons are known for being lightweight, tough, and designed to move with you—whether you’re tackling steep alpine faces, scaling technical ice, or just heading out for a weekend glacier route. The adjustability, quality build, and thoughtful features (like modular front points and anti-balling plates) make Petzl crampons a go-to for climbers who want gear they can rely on when things get real.

How to Choose the Best Crampons for Your Climb

Not all crampons are built the same, and choosing the right one depends on what kind of terrain you’re taking on. Planning a classic alpine ridge? Go with a 10- or 12-point model that offers all-day comfort and dependable bite. Stepping into vertical ice or mixed climbs? You’ll want sharp points, lightweight frames, and maybe even a mono-point design for precise placement. And don’t forget about your boots—some crampons require a stiff sole and heel welt to lock in properly. Not sure what you need? Swing by the store or give us a call—our team’s happy to help you figure it out.

Tested Crampons Built for Real Mountain Conditions

We don’t believe in stocking gear that just looks cool on the wall. Everything we carry has been field-tested—on alpine ridges, frozen waterfalls, and snowy approaches—by actual climbers. That means you’ll find crampons that bite into ice without clogging with snow, hold firm on mixed routes, and don’t give out mid-season. We stock gear with smart features like tool-free length adjustment and anti-balling plates, so you can spend less time fiddling with straps and more time climbing. These crampons are built to perform when the temperature drops and the stakes go up.

Crampons help climbers move safely across snow, ice, and steep terrain by providing grip and traction. They attach to your boots and let you dig into frozen surfaces instead of sliding around.
