We rely on the redesigned Black Diamond Neve Pro Crampons for solid traction on ski approaches or travel on snow-covered glaciers. Even though they're not designed for ice climbing, they still clip into our ice, tele, or AT boots for secure footing when we need to travel on steep, hard-packed snow. And at only 13. 9oz, we hardly notice these in our pack as we're working our way up to the technical part of the ascent.
