Hi folks,
I'm currently using Camp Stalker Crampons, but these are causing far too much slipping and sliding. I'd like to upgrade..
As of now I have pretty basic hiking boots and therefore I'll need the kinds with straps.
So far I'm torn between the G10, Grivel Air Tech:

and the Black Diamond Contact Strap:
http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/crampons/serac-crampon
Which of these would give the most traction, yet be comfortable enough for longer hikes?
I'm also wondering if I'll need an extender bar-- do you think they'll fit size 13?
decisions, decisions....
thanks!
