Lightweight crampons

In the interests of lightening up still further i want to ask for any advice or recommendations regarding lightweight crampons as I'm still using my old steel ones but they do weigh a bit (over a kilo), so not sure if I should go for something like a part steel/part alloy compromise so they can handle a bit of rock scratching, even though a bit heavier than all alloy!  Does anyone have any experiences with these types or any recommendations?  Thanks, Brian.

Hi Brian,

See the discussion at in the Gear section. I think we're going to try the Grivel Ski Tour.

I have been using Camp alloy crampons for the last 5 tours. Not had a problem
