I'm not a big fan of the yak trax, or other piton systems. Here, most of the time, there is either large bare patches with occasional bits of granite hard ice. I find the yak trax don't do much for either. But if you've got lots of hard packed snow, they're perfect.
That's too bad they don't work for you -- I successfully use them for glare-ice-skating-pond like conditions and I've never had a problem. Thanks for the compliment. :)
Hey Shannon -- you know the brutal thing is how many runs I've done where I am in the middle of it and am thinking, "Crap! Why didn't I put them on?!" LOL -- when I remember to put them on they work. :)
