[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 2012422, member: 115996"] Mountaineering crampons are for extreme conditions, You would not go far in timber before you intentionally lost them. A buddy recommended microspikes. He is often on iced trails. They have worked great for us in winter conditions and are easily packable in a day pack. You want to get them the right size range for your boots so they hang on securely and don't slop. I have a pair for hiking weight and another for cold weather pacboots. Much better on really slick stuff than the airbobs I normally have as soles. They are easy enough on and off you will take then off when you don;t need them. The spikes are long enough without being dangerous like crampons. Don't fall for the cheap knockoffs - they look the same but are not as sturdy. Bending spikes is a non-starter. [/QUOTE]
