Due to the aggresive curve of the boot, the inside point of the crampon (under the ball of your foot) is outside the line of the boot, leading to easy catching when your exhausted at the end of the day, and the outside point (under the ball of your foot) being too far under your foot leading to rolling off the outside of your crampon easily, esp downhill traversing. just wondering if the cyborg is curved enough for this boot to stop this problem, or whether to try a petzl crampon. question_135394 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:17:43 GMT Will the Nuptse climb rock as well as the Nepal?

Overall I really liked them. So my question is how do these tools compare to the Aztars? The reason I don't just get the Aztars is because I really like the lease and the trigger on these?
