Useful information from #mountaineeringscotland illustrating some of the main differences between #microspikes & #crampons In practice we usually carry both due to the variety of underfoot conditions we get in the #lakedistrict @Petzl Zac

A dramatic thaw at lower levels in the spring sunshine but still full on winter on the summits requiring the correct clothing, equipment & #winterskills Icy paths mean that #microspikes are a good call for anyone venturing above the snowline #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac

Cruising along #swirraledge enjoying a return to winter. Hard to believe it was t-shirt weather yesterday! Bring the #microspikes this weekend #beadventuresmart Zac


Swirral Edge this afternoon with a dusting of wet snow over iced rock, care will be needed tomorrow, and micro spikes would be perfect for these conditions #microspikes #summitsafely

A blanket of rime ice coating the #lakedistrict fells above 700m with a slow thaw below. Feeling very wintery with limited visibility adding to the challenge. Very slippery in places so #microspikes a good option to prevent calling on the services of #mountainrescue Zac

Sometimes you will hear people mistakingly call #microspikes #crampons. It’s important to know the big differences between the two! Microspikes commonly use a flexible framing system and some combination of rubber or Velcro to fit around the heel and toe of boots or shoes.
