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 |

Overall, I think this is the single best all-around crampon I’ve ever used (and by last count I’ve tried 12!). Coming standard with dual crampon bails, they’ll fit both three-season alpine boots as well as full-shank ice boots. And with six possible front-point configurations, they can be adapted to fit every mixed, ice or alpine climbing environment I can think of. At $215 Cdn retail, this one pair of crampons does the job of three of four: if you could have only one pair of crampons, this should be it.
It performed beautifully on ice, névé, and mixed ground. You can adjust the length of the front points in both dual or monopoint modes, or offset them, short and long. These crampons aren’t cheap, but given their versatility, performance, and included anti-balling plates, they’re a steal.
With the Lynx, I can now get rid of three pairs of crampons. They replace both my rigid crampons and my mountaineering crampons and the crampons for my hiking boots. Or I can turn my old toe-bail crampons into toe-basket crampons, because the Petzls interchangeable toe basket is nearly universal for any crampon with a toe bail. (The only thing we couldn’t get these on were the C.A.M.P aluminium crampons.)
