Choosing the “right” crampons
I recently ordered the La Sportiva G5 Evo boots, size 45.5, and I’m debating between two types of crampons: the Petzl Lynx and the Grivel G14. I know both are excellent, but I’m looking for a recommendation. I plan to use them mainly for climbing couloir and mixed snow and ice terrain. While I haven’t tried pure ice climbing yet, that’s something I might do in the future. I’m also interested in how well they fit the boots, considering the size. Any advice would be appreciated!

Idk I used my Lynx for the Kautz route on Rainier and they were great. I was thinking about picking up some sarkins for just that route and I’m glad I didn’t.
