For peakbagging, what's the main difference? Obviously, crampons have more "bite" but is anyone biased toward one or the other?

The Stabilicers look like they would be great for ice fishing and hiking when there is not yet enough snow for snowshoes. They would probably even be good for a (not too steep) trail that is slightly iced over. For bare, iced over steep rock...like the summits of some peaks...I would say that crampons are necessary.“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.” ~ Aldo Leopold -
What I understand about the difference, is when crampons are overkill but you still need something, to control yourself on the ice.Originally posted by Gray Ghost"It is easier to become a Forty-Sixer than to be one.
