Noob Crampon Question

Post by TehWoopig »

So I bought a pair of Black Diamond Serac Pro's and I feel like I'm missing the front clip and metal strap. Need some advice here. I ordered online.

They sent you crampons without a toe bail? Weird. You should call and complain.

FYI GearX.com customer service was has been really good so far. They are sending a new set of crampons and a return ups label for me to send the others back.
