Mountaineers wear shorts with spikes, often referred to as crampons, to provide traction and stability on icy or steep terrain. The spikes dig into the ice or hard snow, preventing slipping and allowing climbers to navigate challenging conditions safely. This gear is essential for maintaining grip and balance while ascending or descending mountainous areas. Additionally, shorts can offer better mobility and comfort in warmer conditions or during strenuous activity.
Spikes or "crampons" are only fitted to the shoes and used when mountaineers climb so high that they encounter ICE on the ground on the mountain. The spikes dig into the ice and stop the mountaineers feet slipping.

We don't always. However, when climbing on ice, they dig in and give you better traction.

Metal spikes used by mountaineers are called crampons. They are attached to the sole of boots to provide traction on ice and snow while climbing.
You wear the kleats with the spikes.
The spikes dig into earth and so give better traction.
As an expirienced runner I would say no. I say no because spikes are meant to contain traction on the ground while you run. Someone may have anothe answer this is mine: Do not wear spikes as sneakers.
Gloves and spikes are about the only equipment they wear
Yes
because to get the grip
all of them do
