I love winter hikes and without crampons it will be impossible. I have Petzl crampons but my husband has Black Diamond and I think they have better quality. I bought this one for my mum. They have 10 contact points which is enough for most of icy and snowy conditions. They protect you from sliding even on the icy trails.
