The Black Diamond Contact excels in this aspect, offering a lightweight yet dependable option for a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts.

Universal Fit – The fast-adjust attachment system is designed to accommodate almost any type of footwear, from hiking boots to ski boots, ensuring versatility. Lightweight and Compact – These crampons strike the perfect balance between weight and performance, making them easy to pack and carry. ABS Plates Included – The addition of anti-balling plates helps prevent snow buildup, improving efficiency in deep or wet snow conditions. Final Thoughts The Black Diamond Contact Crampons are a fantastic choice for those looking for a simple, effective, and reliable universal crampon. Whether you're a mountaineer, skier, or hiker, these crampons offer outstanding grip, durability, and ease of use.

Great Crampons

Great crampons work with most boots and highly adjustable great for going above treeline if you dont have mountaineering boots

Amazing!

These are amazing! Great grip, easily adjustable and also stay secure once adjusted to fit your foot. Love them!

Universal

Used for my first time glacier traveling and were a breeze to put on and felt great on the snow

Crampon Review

easy to put on your boots and makes you feel secure in the snow!

Tried Before I Bought

I borrowed my friend's Contact Crampons for a five day mountaineering trip in the north cascades. These performed perfectly for both walking across glaciers and climbing steep snow pitches. I prefer a less technical boot and I believe these work better than converting a technical crampon to regular boot.

Lightweight Steel!!

I've been using al crampons for years (even in situations where steel would be preferable) just because of the weight, but these are BARELY any heavier and obviously much more robust! I've now sold my aluminium crampons and converted to steel full-time :)

Sick Crampons

Fit my deeluxe explorer snowboard boots very well, I only regret I didn’t order an axe too!

Rare Find

A much wanted Christmas gift. I couldn’t find it anywhere else

Beautiful, Well Made

These were top reviewed and while very nice we didn't keep them and opted for a 12 point crampon

All Black Diamond Gear Is 5 Stars

I only purchase BD gear because the, testing, quality, and function are perfect for being outside in any occasion. These are great crampons and will be used to summit Mt Adams and Rainer in the near future.

So Versatile!

I have used this version of crampons multiple times with beginners. They are easy to use, efficient and they provide a great sense of security.

Good With Snowboarding Boots

Have not tried them yet in the mountain, but fits pretty well inside - excited to take them out! Recommend getting the bag to store them..

👍🏼

Well made and easy to use. Hiking the high peaks of the Adirondacks requires dependable gear. I use Black Diamond poles and crampons. The quality is impressive and the price is right. Thank you Black Diamond for supporting veterans!
