CASSIN - Blade Runner, mountaineering crampon and ice climbing

Renewed in the front to ensure greater resistance to fatigue and in the rear lace.

CAMP 's Blade Runner is a highly innovative crampon that guarantees both maximum performance and maximum versatility and customization: the reference tool for ice climbing, extreme mixed and technical mountaineering. A single crampon to do everything, even with shoes designed for semi-automatic lacing.

The Blade Runner, thanks to its revolutionary structure, is above all the first crampon in the world to combine the stability and effectiveness of vertical structure crampons with the precision, versatility, ease of adjustment, as well as compatibility, of those with a vertical structure. horizontal. This is thanks to the adjustment slide integral with the heel, therefore devoid of articulations and equipped with a step that discharges the abutment on the heel, also optimizing locking. The rear part of the crampon is made of Sandvik Nanoflex® steel which, due to its exceptional characteristics of resistance and toughness, allows the section of the structure to be reduced from 2.75 to 1.80 mm: this guarantees greater lightness and longitudinal flexibility of the tool for perfect adaptability to all soles. The absence of movable articulations instead ensures lateral rigidity and therefore perfect fastening of the lug - which behaves like a single block - for an extraordinary impact performance.

The geometry of the front points ensures safety of action, precision and comfort in any situation: on more compact ice walls, for example, in the single point configuration, stability is enhanced by the central fixed points and by the lower lateral ones which are subsequently supported by lowering the heel so as to offer an appreciable "step effect". Conversely, in the most demanding mixed situations, these points allow large movements without the danger of undermining the main one in support. Switching to the dual point configuration or replacing the ice tips with ALPINE hard snow tips (not included - innovative for their chisel design with three-sided bevel) is quick and easy.

The asymmetrical design of the Blade Runner respects the ergonomics and natural load line of the foot, offering surprising sensitivity. The particular arrangement of the points, in particular the group of converging and non-parallel front ones, shows a reduced tendency to retain snow. Also noteworthy is the possibility of passing from automatic to semi-automatic fastening by simply replacing the new front bow with the cap suitable for boots without front notch, which are very common today, for excellent performance with any shoe.

Sandvik Nanoflex® an innovative steel alloy with mechanical strength and toughness 60% higher than normal alloy steels; allows you to reduce the amount of metal to be used, significantly reducing the weight while keeping the resistance intact.
