The evolution of our CRAMPLIFIER ascent plates.
The SAUCER plates can be mounted and dismounted all without touching your crampons.
This means you can have float on demand, take off the plates even on shorter sections of hardpack and put them back on for softer sections.
As the mounting and dismounting is so easy and fast, there’s no more doubting whether to leave them in the backpack or to put them on.

– Blue Ice Harfang (including TOUR and ENDURO)

S+W Verdict:
“These Saucers have the ability to be put on quickly whilst already wearing you crampons. They are the best around for bootpacking up snowy colouirs. . Making life so much easier, instead of sinking into deep snow. They are very light and pack flat in your pack so you won’t even know your carrying them! This version fits great with any hard boot OR Softboot along with any ski touring specific crampons. A must have powder missions! Get in touch for more info on how to use them!”
