In reply to iamaclimber:
> Hi
> I have a friend who wants to come winter climbing with me. His crampons are a strap on type, with no toe or heel bail. I want to take him on some grade III ground. The boots are maybe a soft B2, or perhaps a stiffish B1. What are people thoughts on whether these spikes will work okay on this sort of ground - as a one off?

Large nylon Cable ties under the crampons and through the laces, might give some extra security ( have something to cut them off of course)
I find them useful for lots of stuff, you can even link them together into long lengths, if need be. Great for holding makeshift walking pole splints together, etc. etc.
