Black Diamond Contact ABS description The Black Diamond Contact Anti-Balling System (ABS) reduces snow pilling underneath your Contact crampons allowing a more secure placement, as well as making travel much easier. The patent-pending Contact ABS provides a durable, secure way of inhibiting snow balling. Dual-density plates screw on easily, are super secure, and can handle the abuse of glacial talus far better than a traditional solid plate. | Bottom Line: A must for users of the Contact crampon. No one likes kicking off a 15lb ball of snow under your foot while attacking a 60 degree headwall! |
They work. Period.
DeGraaf: 
Very easy to install (10 min) on BD contact crampons (from the 2004 winter/spring season). I went on a night climb with them and never had to worry about snow bunching up between the spikes. Contact with snow and ice was great!
Very helpful but rock eats them up quickly
Shorty: 
Dont you love snow sticking to your crampons? Well, no one else does either. These Anti-Balling plates are very easy to install and they are worth their weight in gold. My only complaint is that a long alpine route with a lot of rock will pretty much destroy them in a day. If youre spending most the time in the snow, theyre definitely worth it.
