Pre-Fitting Your Crampons to Your Boots for Mountaineering, Alpine Climbing, or Ice Climbing

Sitting in the snow and adjusting your crampons to your boots is hard to do with winter gloves and is a good way to make yourself cold. That's why I pre-fit my crampons to my boots before I ever leave the house for every ice climbing, alpine climbing, or mountaineering trip. This opens up all of the options to move heel and toe bails and fine-tune the crampon fit to maximize the likelihood that the crampon will stay on as well as the performance of the crampon for my climb. Here's how I go about pre-fitting crampons for each of the three crampon types: full strap, step-in, and hybrid.
