[pct-l] Looking for Yaktrax crampons feedback...

[thebeave7 at hotmail.com (eric lee)]

Yaktrax aren't crampons, they are traction devices. Big difference. While 
they work great on very low angle icy slopes, the fact that they don't have 
any teeth(or points) means they won't bite into the steeper slopes or into 
softer snow. Personally I would never use them for mountaineering or in 
place of crampons. They have there place just not on High Sierra Passes.
