Hi, would appreciate some crampon advice. I have robust Berghaus Explorer Ridge GTX boots, which I went up Beinn Dubhchraig in two weeks ago, with a borrowed set of crampons, which I had no problems with, despite non-rigid boots.
I would like to get some of my own that work with my current boots for winter mountains (nothing too hard), but which will also work if I upgrade to B1 boots.
I've been looking at the following...
- Nuptse Classic 12 Point
- Kahtoola KTS Steels
- Grivel Monte Rosa New Classic
- North Ridge Snowline
...but am getting pretty baffled. I asked in Tiso, but they told me to get rigid boots, which isn't an option at the moment.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks.
