Great all around crampon
Stephen Koch: 
These crampons are light and climb steep ice and mixed terrain great! I use them in the mountains too. Just used them for a recent (September 2008) ascent of the Black Ice Couloir in Grand Teton National Park. The closure system takes a little getting used to. I recommend pushing in, towards the boot on the side lock (small metal triangle) when closing the boot. This will limit the torque on that triangle, which I have bent in years past, when I didn't do the suggestion above. If you are not heelhooking and don't mind a little more weight, I recommend the leverwire closure (more traditional). If you want to save weight every time you take a step or kick your crampons in ice, go with the leverlock, as I do. I like the Darts (mono) for mixed climbing and the Dartwins (called Darts and shown above, that have the "twin" front points) for straight ice, or mostly ice. If you are going to get a pair of poons that excel on steep ice and you can take up mountaineering routs, the Darts/Dartwins are a great choice.
