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

FAQs
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. Whether you’re heading up a snowy ridge or crossing a glacier, they’re a must-have piece of climbing gear.
