Hello,

From what I read, the Brasher Hillmasters are B0 and unsuitable for
crampons? Can anyone confirm this?

There was a fairly lengthy discussion on the relevance of B ratings
back in April (see http://tinyurl.com/ffzqt) which might help. But
then you'll know this because you took part in it:

">> My boots are Brasher Hillmasters, B0 apparantly. I gather they'd
probably be ok, though not ideal?

That would be my personal assessment. I've seen people use less
suitable boots with less suitable crampons and get away with it.

That's good enough for me then ;)

I don't imagine the design of Hillmasters have changed much since
then.

You have a better memory than I do ;)

I'll dig out the old discussion, now I remember there being one...
