| Jones said hikers should wear crampons, and carry ski poles and an ice axe when heading into the backcountry. |
| The crampons scraped across the kitchen floor, cutting grooves into the wood. |
| Don't touch metallic objects like ice axes, crampons, tent poles, or jewelry. |
| We need crampons and ice axes for the climb, but only use our rope to exit the top notch of the couloir. |
| The snow underfoot is hard and crystalline, and grates beneath my crampons with a sound of metal on metal. |
| I decided I'd better put on my crampons over my boots to grip the snow better, then tentatively stepped out onto the steep slope. |
