Hello all, First time poster, LONG time reader of this great site!! My wife and I are going to RMNP at the end of this month to do some winter hiking. My wife and I are experianced spring/summer/fall backpackers but never done any winter packin. We are going to be purchasing crampons and just wanted an opinion on which would be better. Neither of us have mountaineering boots, just regular heavy Merrell hiking boots. So we are looking at the Black Diamond Contact Strap 10pt crampon www.rei.com/product/745464 and the 12 pt Petzl Charlet Vasak Flexlock crampon www.rei.com/product/766573 . I was just curious if there was anything special about one or the other, or if there was another crampon that would be recommended.. Thanks in advance... Dave
