Thanks. I figured crampons wouldn't be necessary at this time of year (and was hoping that someone would say that). I didn't realize though that you couldn't use them with normal alpine boots (which is what I have). At the time I posted I wasn't totally sure about the device, as someone I'm going with (also his first time there, at least in the winter/for skiing) mentioned something that he said was not crampons. He since sent a link and it was MicroSpikes. You'd say those are not helpful for the ravine itself or the trail leading up to it?
