In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:
Good review Tom. I reviewed a pair of these, it turns out, 8 years ago! https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/snow+ice/ice_axes/climbing_technology_nupts... Doesn't seem that long... My pair have been in pretty regular usage since. They are still going strong. I've found that in England and Wales you often just don't get the same amount of snow coverage that you get in Scotland, let alone Norway, and they've actually become my favourite all-rounders BECAUSE of the shorter points (than my Grivel G12s for example). Walking over snow covered scree is less hard on my dodgy ankles for example. I've also found for mixed they can climb as hard as I can, and I've done up to mixed V in them. The binding is still going strong after 8 years and doesn't seem to be wearing out. I used them a week ago on Ben Nevis with some pretty stiff, but otherwise very light and quite low profile Dolomite boots and they worked well on the bit of the steep ice pitch on Gardyloo Gully that I climbed up then (thinking better of it and only having two screws) climbed back down.
The simple bag that comes with them turned out to be my favourite crampon bag too - it works, but weighs less than fancy ones I've bought elsewhere. I ended up using it every time I was out last winter until it was ripped out of my frozen gloved-hand at the top of Kinder Downfall during the first storm day of the Beast from the East last winter. I hope someone else found it and put it to good use.
All round, great crampons and still for a reasonable price.
