I’m going to Scotland for the first time in Feb and trying to make sure I’m as prepared as possible.
I hadn’t thought much about it until the other day when my climbing partner said my crampons won’t be very suitable. I said they were G12s but I realised now they’re air techs which I understand to be even less suitable. and I accidentally sold some spare g12s awhile back and regret it now.
id like to get on as many grade III and potentially IV as well. Will the air techs be suitable enough or a bit daft?
I’ve used them lots in wales on grade ii’s and one grade iii and they’ve been okay but I did feel like something more substantial on crib lem would have been appreciated.
I’ve seen the petzl lynx for £170, but I’m a broke student so spending less is always best. They’ll be paired with manta techs.
sorry if it’s a boring/stupid post but some advice would be much appreciated.
