Hi David - reading you a bit late as you know it
Crampons is a French term by the way (might have been spikes too I
guess) but I was too lazy to look it up in a dictionary though - since I
went autofocus that's what remains of me...
I saw your shots - they are really great - I only wish I could see them
in a larger format as they seem so sharp.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers (Guinness of course)
