Fritschi Diamir Ski Crampon



Required Gear for Steep Skintracks
Ski crampons should be required gear for any steep traversing skintrack. They greatly enhance security in such situations. The only drawback of the Fritschi design is that you have to exit the binding to attach the crampon, so best to figure you that you'll need the crampons before you're suddenly on steep terrain and have to do some tricky moves to exit and then reenter the binding. The other problem is finding a convenient way of carrying them in your pack, try threading some shock cord through the small holes in the crampon for an external attachment approach. If you have the most recent generation of Diamir bindings though, you might want to consider the newer Axion crampon, which can be affixed yet not deployed until you actually need it.


Requisite for the alps.
A necessity for steep skintracks ski touring in the Alps. The easiest way to carry them is to drill a small (3/16") hole and thread them with parachute cord, then clip them to the waistbelt of your back so they are easy to get to when you need them.


NEED INCREASED EASE OF CARRYING
I FIND THESE CUMBERSOME TO CARRY. A FRIEND OF MINE DRILLED A HOLE IN THE TOP FOR EASE OF CARRYING. I RECOMMEND MANUFACTURER THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE ASKING CUSTOMER TO IRREPARABLY CHANGE CONSUMER PRODUCT FOR PRACTICALITY. THAT SAID, ITS A NECESSARY ITEM IN SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AND FOR SKI MTNEERING. I BELIEVE THEY WORK BETTER THAN THE OLD DYNAFIT TLT CRAMPONS WHICH JUST DRAG ON THE GROUND WHEN MAKING FORWARD PROGRESS.


Fritschi Ski Crampon by Black Diamond
The fit isn't the best, requires a bit of force to get it to engage, but I think a few minutes in the shop bending and filing is likely all that is needed to get a good fit.
