SALEWA Alpinist Combi Hybrid Mountaineering Crampon

About the Salewa Alpinist Combi

The Alpinist Combi Crampon from Salewa gives you a hybrid alpine crampon with a versatile design that fits a wide range of footwear, from adult down to junior sizes.

The low profile keeps the foot closer to the rock or ice giving you greater control while the sharpened steel points make short work of hard ice. Tool-free adjustment in the base makes it quick and convenient to size. A hybrid attachment system uses a flexible plastic cradle in the toe. A lever lock in the heel requires welted boots to ensure a secure fit. A single strap adjustment holds the crampon in place and prevents accidental loss should it become separated from your footwear.

Underfoot, twelve steel points provide traction over icy routes while a multi-ply stainless steel flex regulation bar works like suspension, providing dynamic movement that allows the crampon to flex with the foot as you climb. The two parts are designed to fit together – points inward – to be stowed safely when not in use.

The Alpinist Combi features anti-balling plates. This pro-active design works to prevent the build-up of wet snow and ice underfoot, which can otherwise render the crampon’s grip ineffective and lead to slips and falls.

The low weight makes them great for the fast-moving alpinist negotiating challenging ascents on back-country ski tours or mountaineering expeditions.

The Salewa Alpinist Combi Crampon delivers durable construction with a practical design to give you a product you can rely on to help get you to the top and safely back again.
