So I made a trip up Washington yesterday on Lions head. Could not reach the summit as I only got to the top of Lions Head by my turnaround time and the weather was not to great. In typical Washington style the winds were high creating at least 5 foot snow drifts while other setions of rock were bare. Does anyone here switch over to Stablizers in these conditions where the full might of crampons are not really needed? I feel as though moving might be alittle bit faster and maybe even safer on uneven rocky terrain.
FYI... the only reason I just thought of this is due to the fact that I replaced my broken Yak Trax with the more expensive Stabilicer version and I am incredibly impressed by them but did not bring them along on this trip as they are rather heavy.
