Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a strong opinion on what the best crampon is for Ice Climbing on the La Sportiva G5 Evo boot.

Do they still make Darts? Everybody I've seen is out of stock on them. Local climbing shops, REI, Backcountry, everybody. Is this just COVID supply chain bullshit?

I have a pair of unused front sections I'd sell if you have the rear from another Petzl crampon (eg Lynx) you'd like to use.

Yes they’re still made. Check your local gear shops. My local shop has a number of pairs.

All out. Best I could find is a replacement front half.

If you’re coming to the Bozeman ice fest, there will be multiple pairs of Darts in stock and for sale at the venue.
