Ok gentlemen I am new to the game
i would like to pick the brains of the collective consciousness of this splitboard online community :?: :?: :?:
and steepen my learning curve

What advantage will crampons on the split board provide?
what conditions, are they worth the bucks?

They are worth every penny in very firm/icy conditions, especially when traversing. The Sierra spring conditions in the morning before softening is primarily where I use mine. But I don't use them nearly as often since I got wide skins that are cut to the exact size/shape of the boards. Now I find that by the time I need them I just switch into boot crampons and go straight up.

^^^ what he said.

In crusty conditions or icy skin tracks they can also be invaluable.

Crampons are GREAT!
