I've been trying to find crampons on Craigslist for weeks now. I almost found the right pair, a set of Black Diamond Cyborgs, but thankfully the seller altruistically told me that they wouldn't be the best for Rainier. The frontpoints were modular and he said they tend to cut into snow/glacier ice.
Woah! Speaking like a mountaineer. How'd I figure some of this stuff out? A sweet site put out by the folks down at REI. Thanks!

The seller said the Black Diamond Sabretooth crampons would be better. Don't think I'll shell out the $170 needed for new ones so back to CL for me...
