Blue Ice Harfang Tour

No, the Harfang Tour is designed specifically for ski touring and glacier travel. Because they are made from aluminum rather than steel, they are not intended for vertical ice or mixed climbing, which would quickly dull and damage the points.

The crampons come with both automatic and semi-automatic front bails, allowing you to switch between boots with a full toe welt and those with just a heel welt. You can swap these systems quickly in the field using the provided hardware, making them compatible with a wide range of ski mountaineering boots.

Not at all. The central UHMWPE strap is incredibly strong and creates a secure, precise fit that conforms well to the sole of your boot. It also allows the crampon to fold into a very small, flat package, which is a significant advantage when space in your pack is limited.

Yes, we highly recommend using them. The active anti-balling system is essential for preventing snow from sticking to the underside of the crampons, which can otherwise create dangerous, slippery buildup while you are skinning or booting up.

The base weight of the crampons is 312g without the plates. While the anti-balling system adds a small amount of weight, it is a negligible trade-off for the safety and efficiency gained by preventing snow buildup.
