I talked to three people two years ago in the space of 2 hours "telling" them to remove their crampons. I related the story of an experienced mountaineer who cartwheeled out of control on SJP's Snow Creek after he caught a crampon point. They seemed pretty eager to remove the spikes at that point.

P.S. Brandon, I've been enjoying your photos for years, you do some really great work!
