I will make the pitch for kahtoola micro spikes. You can run on glare ice with them on. Easy to put on/off too. Makes trekking across glare ice very easy.

We were on a hike today near the lower end of the Mt Major Boulder Trail, hard packed snow mixed with ice flows. Both of us with Kahtoola microspikes which makes walking on ice like walking on dirt:

Anyway this young fit guy comes running down the mountain side across flows of ice, the orange Kahtoola spikes leading the way down. In a flash he is gone out of sight. Ah but to be young again.
