Size Chart
General Sizing Guidelines
- 60 cm - 5' 4" and shorter
- 65 cm - 5' 4" - 5' 8" and shorter
- 70 cm - 5' 8" to roughly 6' 2"
- 75 cm - 6' 1" to 6' 6"
Depending on the steepness of the slopes you'll be climbing, you may want to adjust this (go shorter for front-pointing on steep ice, longer for upright glacier walking). But this is a good reference for the standard routes on peaks like Mt. Rainier or Denali.
