5. Bedienungsanleitung
The EDELRID Spiderpick crampons are designed to improve traction on icy and snowy terrain. Follow these guidelines for effective use:
- Gehtechnik: When walking with crampons, lift your feet slightly higher than usual to avoid catching spikes on the ground or your other leg. Walk with a natural gait, allowing the spikes to bite into the surface.
- Aufsteigend/Absteigend: On gentle slopes, walk directly up or down, using the front points for grip. On steeper terrain, consider traversing or using a "duck walk" technique (feet pointed outwards) for increased stability.
- Oberflächenbewusstsein: Be mindful of changing terrain. While effective on ice and snow, crampons can be slippery on bare rock or smooth, hard surfaces.
- Entfernung: To remove, carefully pull the rubber harness off the heel and then the toe of your boot. Store safely to prevent injury.
6. Wartung und Lagerung
Proper maintenance extends the life of your Spiderpick crampons and ensures continued safety.
- Reinigung: After each use, clean the crampons to remove snow, ice, mud, and debris. Rinse with fresh water if necessary.
- Trocknen: Thoroughly dry the crampons before storage to prevent rust on the steel components.
- Inspektion: Regularly inspect the steel chains, spikes, and rubber harness for signs of wear, corrosion, cracks, or damage. Replace the crampons if significant wear or damage is observed.
- Schärfung: The spikes may dull over time with use. If necessary, they can be carefully sharpened with a fine-grit file, taking care not to remove too much material.
