The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.

The Dry is a bolt-on crampon designed for top level ice climbing and mixed climbing competitions. Based on the proven geometry of the Blade Runner, the mono point ensures single kick sticks and interacts with the secondary points for a high level of stability and control. The 5-point front part attaches to the boot with 4 bolts and allows for +-3 degrees of rotation. The mono point can be set in two positions (centered and offset). The 3-point heel part attaches to the boot with 2 bolts and allows for 10 mm of adjustment from front to back. EN 893 certified with Kayland Ice Dragon, Kayland Dry Dragon and La Sportiva Mega Ice Evo boots.

CertificationCertificationsThe main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries. To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process. Learn MoreRock and Ice Certifications Guide |
