CAMP tasked some obsessive speed freaks with creating the fastest race crampon in the world. The plan is to further solidify podium finishes, to..

Crampons have a tendency to poke holes in expensive jackets or backpacks unless they are contained in a separate compartment. The crampon carrying case from CAMP will give you said containment. Zip open, deposit crampons, zip closed. This is not a magic bag so most likely when you unzip the next time, your crampons will still be there. The bag also has a handle in case you need to ..

We've come a long way since the days when ski mountaineers used hip belays to keep their partners safe on steep pitches and lashed crossed curtain rods to their backs to catch crevasse falls.
