When the fight to the summit includes battles with ice, rock, and steep, slick slopes, we depend on the Petzl Lynx Crampon to get us to the top. Equipped with modular front points, this crampon can be adapted by a single screw for optimal performance on steep gulleys, technical ice, and mixed routes, while the included anti-balling plates limit snow buildup underfoot. The binding system comes with two toe bails—flex lock and wire lock—that adjust forward and back, while the heel bail features a microadjustment system, ensuring this crampon can fit any boot that features a heel welt.
