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.
