Beast Lite crampons

Overall, I think the Edelrid Beast Lite is a rather impressive crampon for its intended purpose, technical ice climbing, but that intended purpose is too limited to make it attractive to UK winter climbers. I haven’t tried the all-steel “Beast” version but they look like they include all of the positives of the Beast Lite, except obviously super light weight, but don’t have the same limitations.

The modularity of the Beast Lite is fantastic, they will fit well to many different type of boots. Hopefully more and more crampons will come with similar, easy to use options all ‘in the box’.
