↑ 011: Salewa

• Made in West Germany [ca. 1972].
• Flexible, Semi–adjustable width, 12–point, Strap–on binding.
• Slanted horizontal front points are more suited for mountaineering and alpine ice slopes than for vertical waterfall ice.
• There are no markings on these crampons. They match the Salewa Crampons shown in the 1972 Chouinard catalog.
• The straps have an SMC plate, but the crampons are not SMC's.

• Made in West Germany [ca. 1975].
• Flexible, Adjustable width, 12–point, Strap–on binding.
• Typical Alpine-style crampon suitable for more flexible leather boots.
• Curved forward-facing front points are an improvement over the slanted points of #011 when used on steep ice.
