Trailer to Pre-Fitting Your Crampons for Mountaineering, Alpine Climbing, or Ice Climbing
Sitting in the snow and adjusting your crampons to your boots is hard to do with winter gloves and is a good way to make yourself cold. That's why I pre-fit my crampons to my boots before I ever leave the house for every ice climbing, alpine climbing, or mountaineering trip. This opens up all of the options to move heel and toe bails and fine-tune the crampon fit to maximize the likelihood that the crampon will stay on as well as the performance of the crampon for my climb. The full video shows how I go about pre-fitting crampons for each of the three crampon types: full strap, step-in, and hybrid.
