2. Measure the ‘tooth free gap’ between the front and back units of your crampons and then double-check with the dimension image in the product gallery.

The evolution of our CRAMPLIFIER ascent plates.
The SAUCER plates can be mounted and dismounted all without touching your crampons.
This means you can have float on demand, take off the plates even on shorter sections of hardpack and put them back on for softer sections.
As the mounting and dismounting is so easy and fast, there's no more doubting whether to leave them in the backpack or to put them on.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
They are designed to help you ascend couloirs and slopes that you feel comfortable to ski.
Do not use them in ‚no-fall-terrain‘!
If you do use them in technical and exposed terrain, this is your own responsibility (so use ice axes with safety leashes and a harness at least!).
Don’t forget about avalanche dangers just because you are moving light and fast!
