Woah ....... waaaay too many lessons to keep track of there.
When it gets really icy around here I have some rubber cleats that have short maybe 1 mm dia blunt tipped pins that do a very good job on level and gently sloping ice. Not nearly as aggressive as the ones pictured. They're for sidewalks, roads, etc, not trails. Unfortunately my wife got them at the thrift and there's no name on them. Sorry.
I've had good luck with ones that are just chains on the bottom and rubber ones with wire spiral wrapped around the rubber.
For icy ski area parking lots skitrax, made by yaktrax, are great. Cheaper than replacing worn out heel and toe lugs, better traction, rockered sole makes it easier to walk.
I can't imagine someone posting on this subject even just 10 years ago not being flamed into deleting the post.
Those skitrax are freaking great for places with hyudge parking lots and base areas you gotta shlep a mile across to get to the lift.Quote:

Shoulda taken a bit more time and shoveled the steps properly.Quote:

Didn't need to solo the Eiger either.
Fuck I could watch people falling on ice all day. I don’t give a shit about people.
I'm concerned the average age of TGR posters is heading north rapidly and this is the sort of thing that we are going to be hearing more and more of. What's the plan here to recruit younger blood or have we conceded that demographic to Newschoolers?Quote:
