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.
Machki Expert
Description
Designed for more advanced users, the Machki EXPERT has a semi-automatic locking system with metal bars at the heel. Made to fit technical mountain boots, the crampon has twelve steel-points and comes with two extra size bars for extending each crampon up to size 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 crampons safe.
- Their advantage is a semi-automatic quick-release system at the heel, which together with the front arrestment and adjusting plate of double size ensures a comfortable adjustment of the required length of climbing irons in the size range of 36 - 48 EU.
- 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.
- Antiboot on the bottom of the plastic prevents snow from accumulating while walking.
