Black Diamond Sabretooth Clip Crampons

Got the fully automatic versions of these and they do very well. They are well suited for long days of travel in tough terrain. My one gripe as of now is that the did not come with the wide toe bail. I had to buy them separate and they were expensive. I think they should be a cheap add-on option at checkout at worst. But getting them free with them would be nice. Maybe being able to pick which 2 you want would be good.

I’m guiding on Rainier and these things are the bomb. Easy to put on, light enough but durable enough to spend some times on rocks. Loving them

I live in the Midwest. I’m not climbing alpine trails, or scaling ice walls. Why did I buy these then, you ask? Well, simple… we got 3 feet of snow that then blew around the next day and I had 4-5 feet sitting on my roof that needed to come off. I finally had an excuse to buy a set of good crampons, that excuse being I need to get on the roof to remove the snow (removal from the ground is for lazy people). To take on the pitch of my roof I settled on the Sabretooth clip style. They fit perfectly on my Merrell thermo overlook boots and the back stays secure even with the boots mild heel welt that isn’t a real heel welt but rather a small grove. I was able to walk around the packed snow on my roof and shove it off. Never slipped, never felt unstable, never felt at risk of going over. They’re also going to be a nice addition to my pack for hunting season here just in case as well as my plans to go to Alaska to hunt.

This is an expedition grade crampon that I use for my mountaineering expeditions for mount Baker, Mount Washington and Aconcagua. It’s lightweight and sturdy. It pairs well with my LaSportiva G2 Evo.

I love the saber tooth design. I have had three other pairs. These are some much lighter than the carbon steel design. Good job on making it a better product!

It fits the Arc'teryx Acrux LT GTX Boot well. The toe Strap provided an appropriate fit over the toe of the boot. Preformed well on glacial travel, light with proper grip on ice travel. Easily collapses down for storage. No Snowballing experience!

Navigating icy and rocky terrains has never been easier with these Sabretooth Crampons. They provide excellent grip, ensuring your steps are secure and confident. Adjusting them to fit my boots was straightforward, and they stayed in place perfectly throughout my hike. A must-have for winter adventures!

Work well, once you get it adjusted to your boot it's easy peasy on and off. Have yet to fall down snow with them yet.
