From Altrec:
Crampons built for traditional mountaineering, the Petzl Vasak Leverlock Crampons are designed for mountain and glacial travel. The Vasak provides comfort for walking and plenty of power for glacier climbing. The Vasak's semi-rigid design flexes a bit for a more natural gait and is extremely versatile. Length adjustment is tool-less and fast in support of your choice of footwear and also suggests the possibility of sharing crampons with a partner.These come with two flat front points for increased bearing power, thin-sectioned points for good penetration on ice, the next two points are inclined to give stability. The ten walking points are separated to respect the asymmetry of the boots and to limit the "rail" effect which increases the risk of slipping. Leverlock, for boots with heel welts. The Leverlock has a flexible binding at the front, heel bail lever with a wide range micrometric adjustment at the rear.
  • Walking on 10 points
  • Point lengths are optimally set to reduce stilt effect, improving stability and walking efficiency in mixed conditions
  • Flat front points provide excellent holding power and the next two points angle forward for support while front pointing
  • Semiflexible design combines rigid support on steep angles and flex for natural walking comfort
  • Crampons adjust easily without tools, accommodating half-sizes for an accurate, snug fit
  • Low-profile Antisnow® plates help prevent sticky snow from balling up beneath your feet without interfering with the projection of the points
  • Leverlock is for boots with heel welts. Flexible binding at the front, heel bail lever with a wide range micrometric adjustment at the rear
  • Supplied with Medium bars for boot size 36-46. Large bars (size 41-50) optional extra
  • Weight: 2 x 420
