Petzl VASAK LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL has become one of the world's most trusted crampons for classic alpine climbing. Designed for glacier travel, snow ridges, alpine ascents and technical mountaineering, it offers the perfect balance between stability, grip and walking comfort.
The 12-point steel construction provides secure traction on snow, ice and mixed alpine terrain. Two long horizontal front points deliver excellent purchase on hard snow while maintaining predictable performance during long mountain approaches.
The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL binding system is designed for mountaineering boots equipped with a rear heel welt. The interchangeable front binding components (FIL and FIL FLEX) allow compatibility with different types of technical boots, making the crampons highly versatile.
The length adjustment system requires no tools and fits footwear sizes from EU 36 to 50.
Integrated ANTISNOW anti-balling plates reduce snow build-up beneath the crampons in varying snow conditions. This significantly improves grip while reducing the risk of dangerous snow accumulation underfoot.
As part of Petzl's ALPEN ADAPT modular system, the VASAK can easily be upgraded or adapted by replacing front sections, linking bars, bindings or ANTISNOW plates. This modularity extends product life while allowing the crampons to evolve with your climbing objectives.
VASAK is optimized for classic mountaineering, glacier crossings and snow climbing where walking comfort and secure traction are priorities.
SARKEN is better suited for steeper mixed terrain and technical alpine climbing thanks to its more aggressive front-point geometry.
If your adventures mainly involve glacier travel, alpine routes and classic mountaineering, the VASAK is generally the better choice.
