A wealth of innovative features combine to create a crampon that conforms to the ergonomics of modern boots, increases rigidity and performance, and adapts to conditions with a variety of front points and toe bail configurations. Along the entire length of the crampon without decreasing dexterity or compromising fit, adapts to alpine conditions with a variety of front points and toe bail configurations, and reduces balling with its inverted V-shaped front platform.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe patented heel slide integrates the linking bar with the heel piece for better torsional rigidity. This allows the \u003cstrong\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/strong\u003e to offer the best of both worlds by combining the power and stability of vertical frame crampons with the precision and ease of adjustment of horizontal frame designs. The entire heel slide is constructed from proprietary \u003cstrong\u003eSandvik Nanoflex® steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: a\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003en amazingly strong and tough stainless steel that allows for a reduction in the thickness of the frame from 2.75 mm to 1.8 mm, thereby reducing weight while simultaneously increasing strength and providing the right amount of longitudinal flexibility for a precise fit on modern boots with more extreme rocker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe redesigned front platform is constructed from traditional chromoly steel alloy to absorb impact energy and maintain solid rigidity under foot. The elimination of connection joints leaves little room for play and reduces much of the flex that can make crampons feel insecure seem less secure on technical terrain. The sophisticated geometry of the front points interact with the secondary points on the main frame for easy penetration and superior hold even in the most fickle conditions. Switching the front points between dual and mono, centered or offset, is made easy with the hook and notch system. The optional snow points convert the \u003cstrong\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/strong\u003e into all mountain machines with their beveled design and precise shape and spacing that maximizes purchase in ice and hard snow. Optional semi-automatic toe bails also allow the \u003cstrong\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/strong\u003e to be used on boots without rigid toe lugs – a great feature for alpine climbing where the bulky toe lug reduces sensitivity and performance on rock. Delivered standard with both automatic and semi-auto toe bails. New anti-balling plates are more dynamic to help prevent snow build-up underfoot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSandvik Nanoflex®\u003c\/strong\u003e is an innovative patented steel alloy that is 70% stronger and 20% harder than normal steel which allows for a significant reduction in the amount of metal used, thereby decreasing weight while maintaining strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe most versatile technical ice crampon on the market\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePatented heel slide design integrates the benefits of vertical and horizontal frame crampons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe patented heel slide is constructed from proprietary \u003cstrong\u003eSandvik Nanoflex®\u003c\/strong\u003e steel for the optimal blend of strength, flex and lightweight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eInterchangeable front points are easy to switch from dual to mono, centered or offset\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOptional snow points optimize the crampons for alpine terrain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAsymmetric design follows the contours of modern boots to ensure a precise fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew automatic front bail enhances the fit on modern boots and semi-automatic toe bails allow for use on boots without rigid toe lugs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew anti-balling plates are more dynamic to help prevent snow build up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eMicro-adjustable linking bar for fine tuning the length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew heel bail with 3 height settings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAvailable in two sizes for optimal boot fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eComes pre-equipped with mono-points and automatic toe bails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTwo extra front points (ref. 0145) and semi-auto toe bails (ref. 0150) are included in the box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFront platform has been redesigned for higher levels of resistance and strength\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eV-shaped chromoly steel front platform offers high rigidity and reduces balling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAnti-balling plates included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAdjustable fold-over carrying case with lashing straps included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gear Express","offers":[{"title":"Size 1","offer_id":49958065078509,"sku":"CMP-0312-Size 1","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 2","offer_id":49958065111277,"sku":"CMP-0312-Size 2","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/6266\/2381\/files\/camp-blade-runner-crampon_6638d4f4-8e7d-4201-9aa4-6927cf838a9e.jpg?v=1779299954","url":"https:\/\/gear-express-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/cassin-blade-runner-crampon","provider":"Gear Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
