Crampons

Crampons were a type of tool designed for the purpose of aiding in the transversal of icy and mountainous terrain.

Description
Crampons were metals spikes, hooks, knotty bands of steel, typically sold in pairs. They were attached to either gauntlets or boots by several straps of leather.

Crampons could be constructed from the supplies found in most climbing kits.

Powers
