How are we to ensure our cherished, pricey camping gear, clothing, etc. stay puncture and tear-free while carrying crampons? Certain circumstances and situations will make one or the other more suitable or, maybe, the only option. Having a little extra room, moreover, will let you throw in additional sharp items when need be and stow your crampons easily with cold fingers. Step Two: Decide on Internal or External Storage

Steel / Fits sizes 36-47 / Anti balling front and rear / 12-point / Choice of binding types: New-Matic EVO, New-Classic EVO and New Cramp-o-matic EVO. BUY NOW: GRIVEL.COM Next, cut the “top” section of the milk bottles off, as in the picture below. From now on we’ll refer to “top” as the front-most side facing us (furthest away from the table). You may end up with a bit of a gap between the two halves of milk bottle (like I have). That’s okay – use the scraps of flat plastic that you cut off the milk bottles to patch up the gaps. Duct tape the whole lot sturdily together. The milk bottles now form one solid plastic basket. DIY Crampon Bag Step 6:Take the second zip and attach it towards the far edge of the fabric (see LHS of picture). This distance is judged by the width of your milk bottle basket. I measured this roughly off the basket after I’d sewed the first zip in. Ensure that both zips are facing in the same direction. DIY Crampon Bag Step 7: Take your crampons and place them on top of one of the legs of your old jeans. Your jeans should be wide enough to fit the crampons on with a bit of space around the edges. This was fine, in my case (although only just because they were slightly skinny jeans) but if you have big feet you might need bigger trousers. Maybe there’s a correlation between foot size and jean size?! Perfect for preventing damage when carrying or storing your crampons. The Fakir provides a practical solution for those sharp crampon spikes and any other sharp pieces of kit you might need. Once you’ve done that, THEN insert the basket for the final time. You need to sew along the open edge (facing camera in the picture above) to join it to the inside. The zip should now have one side snugly between two pieces of jean fabric.

The crampons have a narrow one-piece strap and small square clasp, but ergonomically moulded to help you get your fingers around it in gloves. There is a metal bar at the base of the toe bail for extra support and anti-balling plates equipped. The Petzl Lynx have 14 points in total, giving lots of traction in steep snow or ice. Durability: The steel Petzl uses for its crampons is specially selected for its durability and strength characteristics. Using such high quality steel allows the crampons to be as light as possible without sacrificing strength. A special electroplating process is applied to the crampons to increase durability and maximize showshedding characteristics. Concerning your stuff bag or case, bigger is almost always better. In most cases, the material used in protective cases is soft, and any excess can be squeezed or scrunched up. Further reading: Learn how to use your crampons correctly with our hands-on guide. Step Four: External StoragePetzl's Fakir Crampon Bag is made with durable material and has a reinforced, semi-rigid bottom panel that prevents those shorp points from getting through and damaging your kit. With useful straps inside the bag to keep things organised and secure this is a great design. You now have an open basket into which you can put your crampons. Notice how I’ve left a bit of a lip at either end of the basket for sturdiness. Place your crampons inside the basket and adjust how far apart the milk bottles are, so that the crampons fit in easily. Make sure you can get them out over the lip. The strap is segmented – in one piece but stitched in place around one end of the heel bail – and is wider than many on the market, making it easier to handle with less dextrous gloves. The clasp is round with a nice big pull tag that similarly makes taking the crampons on and off very easy. These crampons have flexible anti-balling plates included as standard. Full Specifications

Crampons are some of the most effective tools for moving around the UK’s mountains in winter – because how often do we get deep coatings of soft powder? Windblown snow is the norm, often with a hard, icy top layer. Sometimes you can get away with using the edges of your winter boots, but you’re unlikely to get far without a pair of crampons. Especially as terrain gets higher, steeper and more technical.Steel crampons / swappable bindings to fit semi or auto / Lynx has modular front points / Sarken has T-shaped fixed front points / Transport pouch included / anti-balling plates / all parts can be replaced separately / front section can be swapped out for other disciplines. BUY NOW: PETZL.COM Wash your milk bottles! And dry them properly. You can see, if you look closely in the picture, that mine isn’t quite dry. Cut along the dotted lines in the picture above. This will remove the handle from the milk bottle and the top section that is not flat. Repeat this with the second milk bottle. You should end up with something like the picture below. Steel crampon / anti-balling plates / Front Binding made of soft material that fits perfectly over footwear / fits sizes EU35-48 / Semi-automatic with plastic front basket / 12 point.

Steel crampons / Sizes EU36 – 45 / anti-balling plates / 10-point / very lightweight / Kit Cord-Tec: aluminium ultra-light rear section / connected with ultra-durable cords / creates a more lightweight and compact option. BUY NOW: PETZL.COM The strap is very narrow and fits the clasp snugly. This makes for a very secure fit, although it can be a little fiddly to put on while wearing big gloves. The strap is one continuous piece from clasp to tip and is woven through the bails. The crampons have anti-balling plates as standard and also come with a flat crampon bag with velcro closure. Double rows of holes in the asymmetrical rod allows for easy fine-tuning of crampon length to your boot. Full SpecificationsIn the picture above, I have used one square as a guide and then cut through several layers of fabric at once for speed. Sew one end of the fabric cover on to the corresponding end of the fabric, between two zips. I would make this the 3 edges which will end up on the inside of the milk bottle basket, leaving the top edge open. If you have 8-point crampons, then protectors for 10 or 12-pointers will work fine. However, the reverse is not true—i.e., using protectors with 8 covers is going to leave 4 points unprotected if your crampons have 12 points. If the fabric doesn’t reach up the sides then you are going to need some bigger trousers! DIY Crampon Bag Step 5: The Petzl Lynx crampons come in a sturdy reinforced bag with a reinforced end piece, mesh top and zip closure. They are equipped with semi-automatic bindings but the front piece is supplied to make it fully auto. Also included is a small allen key and tools to adjust the two front points – it’s possible to swap it to just one for ice climbing.
