Looking to trying the Teton Traverse. Need something that will fit on approach shoe like a Ganda. My buddy and I have been going back and forth on what type of crampon we will need. Obviously it's condition dependent but we were looking at:

Katoola or Hillsound Microspike
Kahtoola or Hillsound crampon
Camp XLC universal
Grivel Air Tech

Any recommendation for a mid to late summer attempt?

No crampons needed after the low snow year.

Not sure about snow conditions, but I took Camp aluminum strap-ons and used them. They fit to my 5.10 guide tennie okay.

I tried the share a pair technique with a pair of ultralight CAMPs - one on my left the other on his right. Won't be doing that again!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
