The lightest 12-point crampons in the world! Absolutely perfect for ski mountaineering and glacier travel. Innovative 3-D shaped construction (pressed – not just bent) on the front platform distributes pressure applied to one point across the entire platform significantly increasing the strength and durability of the crampon. Automatic bindings offer the most secure fit for rigid boots with full toe and heel welts, including A/T and telemark boots. While sturdy, aluminum crampons are not suitable for ice climbing or intensive mixed terrain.

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 |

The C.A.M.P. USA XLC 390 is the lightest semi-rigid twelve-point crampon in the
world. CAMP achieves this featherweight construction by using 7075 aluminum
alloy. The XLC 390 automatic binding (also available in new-matic and strap-on
styles), designed for alpinism and ski touring, has been valuable to me this
spring and early summer. I have used these crampons to compete in the grueling
Pierra Menta, a four-day ski-mountaineering competition held in France, as well
as to make numerous spring ski descents and summer climbs high in the Alps
and Tetons. I have front-pointed alpine ice and climbed sections of rock; both with
great results. If you are looking for a light, durable crampon, the XLC 390 is for you.
