Forged and toothed front point is toothed for precise placements and purchase
Second row of teeth, toothed and angled towards the front to reinforce purchase and give support when front-pointing

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 |

The Dartwins have performed solidly all winter in various conditions on varied
terrain. They've become my number-one pick for vertical and overhanging flows,
and I'd recommend them for anyone serious about steep ice and mixed climbs.
Pros: Precise; stable; technical; easy to adjust without any tools
Cons: Delicate sidelock heel lock; don't fit bigger-heeled boots well; would be
improved with the addition of anti-snow plates.
