After some microspikes to help with the descent from the salbit as given likely conditions I've been recommended to take them by a redoubtable (nay famous!) UKC'er.
Recognising the article yesterday about cheap amazon gear.... should I just bite the bullet and get the Kahtoola standard ones, or are the ones about half the price (AUHIKE, YUEDGE) sufficiently good enough?
Have no experience here so advice much appreciated.
