From snow couloirs to dry tooling, the LYNX is a versatile crampon.
Modular front points allow for many options: dual or mono-point, long or short, and/or asymmetrical.
They come with two types of interchangeable front bindings to adapt to boots with or without toe welts.
Easily switch between mono or dual front points.
Adjust point length to suit the terrain.
Compatible with any boot with heel welts.
Multiple configurations for versatile performance
Glacier travel
FlexLock toe binding for softer boots without toe welts (for easier walking),
Dual front points in long position for maximum traction.
Mixed climbing
WireLock metal toe bails for boot with toe welts,
Asymmetric dual front points for more precise and ergonomic placements on mixed terrain.
Ice climbing
WireLock binding for boots with a front toe welt,
Long mono-points for maximum precision while reducing ice displacement.

what crampons to choose from
So, 02/10/2011 - 05:51 – Victor Alestrom (nicht überprüft)Answer : what crampons to choose from
Di, 04/10/2011 - 17:00 – community_managerIndeed the Lynx would be the model for such multipurpose use, you would surely appreciate the possibility to move forward or backward the front points, forward for more contact in hard ice. backward for less drag on classic, snow terrain. The possibility to switch to monopoint will also be interesting for climbing steep ice.

Mo, 17/10/2011 - 11:12 – James (nicht überprüft)I was just wondering how well the Lynx would work with less rigid B2 boots like the Scarpa Charmoz.
Many thanks
Answer
Di, 18/10/2011 - 10:13 – community_managerNo problem, the Lynx will fit perfectly on the Scarpa Charmoz. Scarpa Charmoz also fit perfectly on Sarken Leverlock. Thank you for your participation on our website.

Materials?
Di, 18/10/2011 - 16:41 – Luc (nicht überprüft)I guess the rest of the crampons is made out of forged CroMo (hot or cold?)
Fibre reinforced acetal in the front (orange).
Stainless hardware (I hope!)
Aluminium front spacers.
Thanks!
I still have my old Charlet Super-12 but this may be their retirement package!
Boots I use: Scarpa Charmoz, Salomon Super Mountain Guide, Sportiva Batura.
Re: Materials?
Fr, 04/11/2011 - 18:11 – PetzlHello,
We don't communicate on the precise materials used to manufacture our products.
What we can tell you is that :
- front points are made of lost wax process
- the crampons are made of high perfomrance steel.
The LYNX will fit the boots you use, no problem.

Fr, 04/11/2011 - 18:16 – PetzlHello,
We stopped the Sidelock binding system on our crampons range.
The binding system that should address your concern is the Spirlock, it's not available on the LYNX, but on the SARKEN and VASK crampons.
Thank you.

Do, 05/01/2012 - 01:39 – Charlie (nicht überprüft)Also I have notice that when using with the above boot and dual points when looking at the front centerline of the boot/crampon the points are not symetric does that make sense.

Re:Which toe piece
Do, 05/01/2012 - 15:17 – community_managerYes you can choose the flexible front toe instead of the bailwire, it's not an issue if you grind a little the side of the shoe. It's not a problem for the front points.
Thanks for your support.

Advantage compared to other stainless crampons
Mo, 23/01/2012 - 17:01 – Eli (nicht überprüft)Could you please advise regarding the advantage of the Lynx compare to other stainless crampons in terms of wear on rocks? I have other stainless steel crampons that had a very short life while being used on rocks. That was very disappointing.
Petzl do not provide much of information about the materials of the Lynx. Nevertheless could you describe if and how better your materials last compare to other technical crampons?
Cheers,
Eli

Di, 24/01/2012 - 09:49 – community_managerThe carbon steel of our crampons is still made with the historic Charlet composition, which has prooved to be highly resitant to wear.

Re
Mi, 07/03/2012 - 16:19 – PetzlHello Kurtz,
The crampon follows naturally the curve of the boot and is thus slightly inward, this is correct and it can be adjusted by moving one side of the toe bail in the different side holes.
Thank you for your interest.

The crampon follows naturally the curve of the boot and is thus slightly inward, this is correct and it can be adjusted by moving one side of the toe bail in the different side holes. The toe configuration depends on the type of terrain that you will encounter and of your experience with those different configuration. We would recommend that you try out the different possibilities to suit your need on practice terrain before heading out in altitude.
Thank you for your interest

Re
Mi, 13/06/2012 - 14:27 – community_managerThe choice of crampons depends on many factors, your skill, your shoes, and your chosen activities. For choosing the right binding please consult : http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/how-choose-binding-system
In general for choosing crampons we recommend to go to a retail shop with your shoes and try the different model, if possible rent a pair to test them on the field to make the right choice.

Crampons/Telemark Boots
Do, 13/09/2012 - 19:06 – Joe (nicht überprüft)I'm thinking about getting the Petzl Lynx Modular Crampons and I have a couple questions.
- If I use the crampons with the toe bail wires, do you think the bill on the front of my telemark ski boots will fit well?
- Do you think this modular design will be used in other Petzl crampons? I've always wondered why manufacturers haven't made crampons that can adapt to the many different styles of boots.
Thanks,
Joe

Mi, 15/05/2013 - 14:33 – community_managerBoth can possibly work, but a correct adjustment of the boot on the crampons must be checked in details according to the technical notice of the crampons.
Sincerely
@Chris
Sa, 04/05/2013 - 20:28 – Luke (nicht überprüft)You can solve the problem by flipping the link bar. The Lynx is higly asymmetric in both the bar and the front piece. flipping the bar leaves enough curve on larger boots.
Not sure what petzl thinks about that though. Still, the advice to move the front bail to different holes doesn't change anything on bigger boots. A straight bar might be the best solution. I hope we will see that at some point for the big footed Lynx Owners.
Thanx for that in advance ;-)
