[pct-l] Crampons

[Jim & Jane Moody]

I used Kahtoolas (sp?) through the Sierra this past year and they were sufficient for when I needed extra traction.  Don't remember the weight and I'm too lazy to go get them, find the postal scale, weigh them, and report back.  I do know they're a lot lighter than real ice-wall-climbing crampons.

There have been many discussions re the carrying of ice axes for those snowy 
passes, but I haven't noticed anyone mentioning crampons.  I have a set of 
steel ones which weigh in at 2 lbs 9 ox. the pair(!).  I dread the thought 
of hauling an ice axe, but especially those heavy crampons.  They do work 
quite well though.  I have a set of phony little instep crampons as well...
