Salewa Alpinist Combi

Vinschgau, Puster Valley, or Sella; Langental or Sottoguda: The Dolomites are a vertical winter playground ... The Salewa Alpinist Combi is a versatile, rugged, hybrid stainless-steel crampon designed for technical ice climbing, mixed routes, and mountaineering. Its 3D carbon steel frame construction features a strong, lightweight clip design and a front basket that allows it to be attached to boots without a toe box. The horizontal front spikes provide reliable grip and load transfer on steep waterfall ice and horizontal rock edges. The overall geometry and the semi-aggressive secondary spikes offer better grip on ice and snow. The additional spikes in the midfoot area provide extra security on icy ridges. In addition to its strong and lightweight design, this semi-automatic crampon stands out thanks to its unique, length-adjustable straps—no more loose ends. They drastically reduce the risk of tripping. The curved, studded anti-clog plates cover the entire underside, thereby minimizing snow buildup. The flat heel strap guarantees an optimal fit, and the precise adjustment dial can be easily operated even while wearing gloves. These crampons require no tools and can be quickly and easily adjusted on the go.
