Machki
Description
Twelve, steel-point, ice climbing crampons with a universal binding. They are suitable for trekking, climbing and ski alpine activities. The crampons come with two extra size bars for extending the size up to 48 EU. To protect the crampons and other gear, we recommend purchase and use of the ROCK EMPIRE Crampons bag designed especially for storing and keeping your crampons safe.
- Antiboot on the bottom of the plastic prevents snow from accumulating while walking.
- Plastic fastening in front and back allows quick and firm fit on any shoe and is extremely gentle on trekking boots.
- The strap system is sewn together with the plastic. The embossments in the front spikes make them more rigid and prevent springing for greater sense of confidence when climbing a rock.
- Thanks to the flexible locking and the double size of the adjusting plate, the desired length of the climbing irons can be comfortably adjusted in the size range of 36 - 48 EU.

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 |

This video shows how to sharpen your crampon correctly.
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.
