Blue Ice Harfang Alpine Automatic Crampons - Black

Technical mountaineering crampons built for alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, the Blue Ice Harfang Alpine deliver secure, precise footing on ice and hard snow with a hybrid construction that balances durability and weight. The automatic step-in binding system ensures a rigid, reliable connection to B3 boots, while the 12-point configuration, including horizontal front points, provides excellent penetration and stability on steep terrain. Integrated anti-balling plates prevent snow build-up, and the tool-free length adjustment allows quick, on-the-fly fitting for boot sizes EU 35-46. At just 419 g per pair, these crampons fold into an ultra-compact package, making them an ideal choice for weight-conscious alpinists who refuse to compromise on performance.

Advantages

The Harfang Alpine crampons combine a chromoly steel front section for strength and durability with an aluminum central rail and stainless steel heel piece to minimize weight. This hybrid design offers the best of both worlds: robust front points for secure front-pointing and a lightweight chassis for efficient movement. The automatic binding system clicks into place quickly and securely, eliminating fiddly straps and ensuring a precise fit every time. Anti-balling plates are integrated to shed snow and prevent dangerous build-up underfoot, while the foldable design means they pack down smaller than traditional rigid crampons, saving precious space in your pack.
