Yaktrax or STABILicers?
Posted by simon on 12/24/2006 on simon's blog

I'm pretty sure it was watching a typically gory film about Everest on the Discovery Channel that did it. All that talk about crampons and ice axes, bodies in the snow and fit guys reduced to wrecked husks with bits dropping off with frostbite...

the next thing I know I'm down at the running store looking for something to help me keep my feet in the snow and ice. I couldn't face another training session in the garage.

The options are Yaktrax, a kind of wiry worm-like thing that clips on the bottom of your shoes, or the much more substantial (and slightly heavier) STABILicers, which are a rubber and plastic, metal-studded sort of skeleton galoushes.
