A snow climbing plate is disclosed including heel and toe binding receivers. Heel and toe bindings for a crampon positioned beneath the plate extend through the receiver and secure to a boot. An instep portion of the plate is captured between the heel and toe bindings. The plate extends laterally beyond the crampon and may extend one or both of rearwardly and forwardly beyond the crampon. The receivers may be embodied as an aperture in the plate or a notch extending inward from an end of the plate. Apertures may be provided to admit tabs for engaging a heel of the boot secured to the crampon. |
