Dear all,
I have lost a pair of crampons (g14 grivels) on the walk out of a cha-no night climb last night.
The crampons themselves have almost zero value (well the front mono points have only been out 3 times) as they are ancient. Many of my climbing partners may agree with me on the bluntness of all secondary point (one of the back one snapped entirely!)
I was about to buy a new pair anyways but:
1) it's litter so if you see them get them off the hill and I'll be grateful and might buy you a pint.
2) I almost started climbing with them (they were my Xmas 2004 present!) so I led my first IV, V, VI, VII and VIII in them. They have sentimental value as we went through a lot together. If you find a way to return them to me...I mind buy you a few rounds!
Kind regards,
a very distraught climber.

Consensus is that BSaFT is really only VII8.

Ok, so my first IV, V, VI, VII and tech 8 in them.
less aesthetically pleasing as a post but I just go by the guidebook grade!

Saturday was a good, big NW day so that was nice. It's pretty screwed for a while now I think.
