Take your crampons and place them on top of one of the legs of your old jeans. Your jeans should be wide enough to fit the crampons on with a bit of space around the edges. This was fine, in my case (although only just because they were slightly skinny jeans) but if you have big feet you might need bigger trousers. Maybe there’s a correlation between foot size and jean size?! If the fabric doesn’t reach up the sides then you are going to need some bigger trousers! DIY Crampon Bag Step 5:You now have an open basket into which you can put your crampons. Notice how I’ve left a bit of a lip at either end of the basket for sturdiness. Place your crampons inside the basket and adjust how far apart the milk bottles are, so that the crampons fit in easily. Make sure you can get them out over the lip.

Crampons come in varying formats and sizes (and we have a great guide to choosing the best crampons for your needs). The most common configurations are 8-point, 10-point, and 12-point models. When buying spike protectors, it’s crucial to ensure that the protectors will have enough spike covers for the number of spikes on your crampons. Concerning your stuff bag or case, bigger is almost always better. In most cases, the material used in protective cases is soft, and any excess can be squeezed or scrunched up.

There is a metal bar at the base of the toe bail for extra support and anti-balling plates equipped. The Petzl Lynx have 14 points in total, giving lots of traction in steep snow or ice. Finally, the other thing to consider is the number of points and how these are arranged. Usually crampons will have 10 or 12 points. Some will go up to 14 points for ice climbing. The more points the more traction you’ve got, so typically 10 points are for gentler gradients. Most crampons have 2 front points (a single point is only really an advantage in ice climbing). A Crampon Fitting Guide If your crampons fit snugly or are hanging out over the jeans, you’ll need to get a different pair. You can see in the picture that I’m using the bottom half of the leg – from where I’ve ripped the knees to the ankle. Cut this section off from the trousers – leaving as generous a margin around the crampons as you can. DIY Crampon Bag Step 4:
