Simple and Reliable: Black Diamond Contact Crampons
When it comes to mountaineering, skiing, or hiking in icy and snowy terrain, having a reliable and lightweight crampon is essential. As a guide, I prioritize equipment that is both trustworthy and efficient, which is why I chose the Black Diamond Contact Crampons. Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best. A universal crampon that fits a variety of footwear while maintaining durability and performance is often the most practical choice. The Black Diamond Contact excels in this aspect, offering a lightweight yet dependable option for a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts. Key Features and Performance Stainless Steel Construction – Unlike traditional steel crampons, the Contact's stainless steel build prevents rusting and eliminates the need for environmentally harmful coatings that wear off over time. 10-Point Design – The compact, 10-point structure provides excellent traction while allowing for a natural walking motion, making it ideal for moderate mountaineering routes and glacier travel. Universal Fit – The fast-adjust attachment system is designed to accommodate almost any type of footwear, from hiking boots to ski boots, ensuring versatility. Lightweight and Compact – These crampons strike the perfect balance between weight and performance, making them easy to pack and carry. ABS Plates Included – The addition of anti-balling plates helps prevent snow buildup, improving efficiency in deep or wet snow conditions. Final Thoughts The Black Diamond Contact Crampons are a fantastic choice for those looking for a simple, effective, and reliable universal crampon. Whether you're a mountaineer, skier, or hiker, these crampons offer outstanding grip, durability, and ease of use. For me, as a guide, reliability is non-negotiable, and these crampons meet my expectations perfectly.

Tried before I bought
I borrowed my friend's Contact Crampons for a five day mountaineering trip in the north cascades. These performed perfectly for both walking across glaciers and climbing steep snow pitches. I prefer a less technical boot and I believe these work better than converting a technical crampon to regular boot.

Lightweight steel!!
I've been using al crampons for years (even in situations where steel would be preferable) just because of the weight, but these are BARELY any heavier and obviously much more robust! I've now sold my aluminium crampons and converted to steel full-time :)
