Featuring a 12-point design optimized for general-purpose mountaineering, Petzl Vasak crampons excel on long glacier routes and ridge traverses.

  • Point lengths are optimally set to reduce stilt effect, improving stability and walking efficiency in mixed conditions
  • Flat front points provide excellent holding power and the next two points angle forward for support while front pointing
  • Semiflexible design combines rigid support on steep angles and flex for natural walking comfort
  • Crampons adjust easily without tools, accommodating half-sizes for an accurate, snug fit
  • Low-profile Antisnow® plates help prevent sticky snow from balling up beneath your feet without interfering with the projection of the points
  • Flexlock binding system is ideal for boots without welts; it uses low-bulk, flexible toe and heel bindings to adapt to most boot shapes and sizes
  • Nylon webbing straps snug the toe and heel pieces securely in place without excessively squeezing sides of boots

Please note: Petzl products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Imported.

Comments about Petzl Charlet Vasak Flexlock Crampons:

Worked great on mixed ice and snow up to 60 degrees. Easy to walk in and just enough stiffness to make walking in a stout pair of backpacking boots a breeze. Would not use for verticle ice.

    Comments about Petzl Charlet Vasak Flexlock Crampons:

    The Petzl Vasak series is an excellent crampon, and the flexlock has a very simple design. Which is compatible with any style of boot.

    I've used these on many trips and have been very pleased with the durability and performance.

    The anti-ball plates work very well, and I've done glacier travel as well as ice climbing, and haven't had any problems.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      This is a great general purpose crampon. I've had mine now for a couple years and are still in good shape. Easy to put on/take off/stow. They have lived up to my expectations for sure!
