 Black Diamond, Sabertooth Crampon Review By the Everest GearGal | |||||||
| |||||||
| Black Diamond’s Sabertooth crampon is one of the most versatile on the market. It performs excellent on snow, ice and mixed terrain, traveling with ease across the glacier and up steep ice faces. The Sabertooth is also a one-size-fits-all design, fitting virtually any mountaineering boot and comes in both clip and step-in models. Recently updated, the Sabertooth now performs more aggressively then ever on technical terrain. The secondary point configuration provides the same bomber stability in soft ice and snow, while the primary points have been improved with new serrated teeth. This offers better climbing performance and grip when pulling onto ledges. The horizontal frontpoints can be counted on to penetrate even the hardest ice and will still smear well on rock. By utilizing a new Teflon® powder coating the durability had been enhanced and they now shed snow like never imagined. And if you go with the new clip version you will be rewarded with newfound flexibility and a dual-density toe strap that works on boots with out o front toe welt. The biggest drawback with choosing Black Diamond’s Sabertooth crampon is that with the one-size-fits-all sizing, you will have to think up a new reason not to lone them to your buddies.
