SINGING ROCK introduces the 3rd generation of Lucifer crampons for ice climbing. We asked the developer Martin Horák, their “father”, how these crampons differ from the previous generation.

What is the main difference compared to the Lucifer II crampons?

During the development process we focused on the weak spots of the previous generation of the crampons. The Lucifer III crampons have adjustable length of the front point, three different positions of the toe bail and the narrowed toe, so that they fit perfectly on modern narrow climbing boots.

I noticed that the center bar is now the same as it was with the first generation of the crampons. What was the reason behind this change?

Even though the previously used center bar with the MSA (Micro-Step Adjustment) system is functional, it is too precise for adjusting the size of the crampons. Most users did not appreciate this delicacy and did not trust the design. So we returned to the classic tried and trusted system of adjusting the size of the crampons without tools.

How else is the 3rd generation of crampons different from the previous models?

Apart from the different design and weight, which I have mentioned earlier, we also modified the bouncer anti-snow plates. They are now made from a more flexible material which retains its properties in temperatures deep below zero. Thanks to that the anti-snow plates work better and last longer. The Lucifer III Tech models also allow replacing the front toe bail with the Ski toe bail for skitouring boots or the Semi Classic toe-bail for shoes with a groove or welt only on the heel.

And the last question: Can you tell us where these crampons are manufactured?

The crampons, as well as the ice axes, are produced here in the Czech Republic, in our metalworking factory in Sudkov. 23 years ago, the very same factory started manufacturing the known Raveltik ice axes and crampons. 10 years ago the factory beacame a part of Singing Rock and since then we have been manufacturig our metal products there.
