From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Black Diamond Sabretooth Pro and Clip Crampons offer high performance for mixed masters, whether you’re climbing a heady thin pillar or crossing a sketchy crevassed glacier. Their horizontal frontpoints pierce hard ice and edge amazingly well on rock. With secondary points that provide solid stability in mushy ice or snow, the Sabretooths’ serrated teeth offer maximum bite when pulling onto ledges or ice blobs. Our Clip version sports a flexible toe strap that is designed to work on boots without a front toe welt. With a one-size-fits-all design that makes them a sure fit on nearly any boot, the Sabretooths are our most versatile crampons for snow, ice and mixed terrain.

"Awesome crampon. Stiff enough to front-point in, but still enough flex for walking on a glacier. The powder coating comes off if you use them on rock, so just be sure to rub WD-40 on them after each climb(prevents rust.) Overall, great crampon for when you will be doing glacier, vertical rock and ice all in the same climb."
