- A pair of hinged, spiked steel crampons with spiked shoe attachments and canvas webbing straps. Each crampon has heavy steel platforms made of two horseshoe-shaped spiked pieces connected by a cross-shaped piece of steel: two with spikes and the middle bar where the two end pieces are bent over and inserted through the holes to connect the two horseshoe-shaped pieces. There is a metal ring on both sides of the spiked pieces and one on each side of the middle bar where the long twilled canvas straps can be crossed through and over to crisscross over boots and buckle at the back. The horseshoe-shaped piece at the back has a curved metal bar around the heel (to go around the boot back) where each end is turned around the metal ring to connect it. The ten spikes measure approx. 3.3cm. each.
