BLACK DIAMOND SNAGGLETOOTH CRAMPON REVIEW

The Black Diamond Snaggletooth crampons are definitely different to look at, but for alpine pursuits you quickly forget the design and just got. It’s often not until you encounter technical moves where you’re glad that you have that single point that you remember what you have on your feet. Vertical ice performance is solid. We’re not sure we’d want to exceed WI4 in these, unless it’s hero ice, but most alpine routes sit in the WI2-3 range so the performance shouldn’t lack much, if at all vs. vertical front point crampons. If you find yourself climbing a lot of technical alpine routes, or want to, then the Black Diamond Snaggletooth crampons are right up your alley.
