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
Sun, 02/10/2011 - 04:51 — Victor Alestrom (not verified)Answer : what crampons to choose from
Tue, 04/10/2011 - 16:00 — 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.

Hi, I was just wondering how
Mon, 17/10/2011 - 10:12 — James (not verified)I was just wondering how well the Lynx would work with less rigid B2 boots like the Scarpa Charmoz.
Many thanks
Answer
Tue, 18/10/2011 - 09:13 — 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?
Tue, 18/10/2011 - 15:41 — Luc (not verified)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?
Fri, 04/11/2011 - 17:11 — 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.

links w sidelock?
Wed, 02/11/2011 - 02:27 — Anonymous (not verified)Re: links w sidelock?
Fri, 04/11/2011 - 17:16 — 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.

Front points

Indeed the front points are available as spare parts for the Lynx crampons.
The reference is T24850
Sincerly
Which toe piece
Thu, 05/01/2012 - 00:39 — Charlie (not verified)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.
Charlie
Re:Which toe piece
Thu, 05/01/2012 - 14:17 — 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.
Sincerely
Advantage compared to other stainless crampons
Mon, 23/01/2012 - 16:01 — Eli (not verified)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
RE
Tue, 24/01/2012 - 08:49 — community_managerThe carbon steel of our crampons is still made with the historic Charlet composition, which has prooved to be highly resitant to wear.
Thank you for your interest.
