Looking for thoughts on the use of in-step crampons from those who have used them (and questions from those who are considering them).
I did not take any because it didn't seem like they be much help for climbing or decending. In fact I felt that they might make things more dangerous in that you might have traction for one part of you step and then all of a sudden loose it as your foot position changed.
So if you've used them, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on their effectiveness and if you found them a worthwhile gear addition for the pct.
