Many of my friends have Yaktrax and swear by them for use here in the
northwest.  That said, they also complain about reliability issues; specifically
they are kind of like tire chains.  If you walk on dirt or rock surfaces for any
distance at all, they tend to break.  Most of the time I use 4-point in-step
crampons if it gets that icy and just plant that ice axe a little better.
