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.
