Shark Lite Crampon

A crampon is a traction device that attaches to your footwear, featuring metal spikes that provide grip on snow and ice. For ski mountaineering, using a crampon like the EDELRID Shark Lite enhances your stability and mobility on steep, icy terrain, making it safer and easier to navigate challenging conditions.

The step-in binding system allows you to easily step into your crampon or ski boot without the need for manual adjustments. This design offers convenience and speed, enabling you to transition quickly between walking and skiing, which is especially beneficial in dynamic outdoor environments.

Front points are the sharp spikes located at the front of a crampon that dig into the ice or snow. Their design and placement are crucial for providing traction on steep surfaces. A well-designed front point enhances your ability to grip the terrain, making ascents and traverses more secure and efficient.

The flexible polyester bridge connects the front and rear points of the crampon, allowing it to bend and conform to the shape of your boot and the terrain. This feature enhances comfort and stability while climbing and also enables the crampon to be folded for easy storage when not in use.

The tool-free size adjustment feature allows you to easily adjust the size of your crampon to fit different boot sizes without needing any tools. This is particularly useful for quickly making adjustments in the field, ensuring a secure fit and saving you the hassle of carrying extra equipment.

While the EDELRID Shark Lite Crampon is specifically designed for ski mountaineering, its robust construction and traction capabilities make it suitable for other winter activities like ice climbing and general mountaineering. However, always ensure that the crampon is compatible with your specific footwear and intended use.
