CAMP-USA XLC 470 Semi-Automatic Crampon

If you're going fast and light in the mountains, whether that be on a mountaineering mission or a fast and light sprint across a glacier, the XLC 470's represent a super-lightweight crampon option.

An innovative 3-D shaped construction (pressed – not just bent) on the front platform distributes pressure applied to one point across the entire platform, significantly increasing the strength of the crampon. The semi-automatic binding is designed for a secure fit on most semi-rigid mountaineering boots.

A couple important notes! For telemark or A/T boots, check out Camp's Skimo Tour Crampons. Finally, while sturdy, aluminum crampons are not suitable for ice climbing or intensive mixed terrain.
