Description
Modular crampons for ice climbing and dry tooling.
For reliable bite on rock or ice! Technical and lightweight, DART crampons are designed for ice climbing and dry tooling. With modular front points (long or short mono-point, dual-point or asymmetrical dual-point), they’re ideal for tackling difficult climbs, snow couloirs, and dry tooling. Their lateral secondary points offer stable support on different types of ice (cauliflower, chandelier). The point distribution allows for precise, efficient placements. The LEVERLOCK FIL binding system is compatible with footwear that have toe and heel welts.

CertificationCertificationsThe main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. 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 |

How to use Petzl crampon correctly, maintenance, general information with instructional pictures.
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.
