Classically shaped 12 point crampons, the Grivel G12 crampons are designed for general mountaineering, mixed climbing and moderate waterfall routes.

With aggressive spikes at the front, the second row of spikes point forwards in support for extra stability when front pointing. Lateral points give the G12 Crampons confidence when traversing, whilst the third row of perpendicular teeth give security whilst ascending and descending.

The G12 Crampons are adjustable by hand and are one size fits all. They are also available with one of three binding systems:

• Cramp-O-Matic: Suited to plastic mountaineering boots with a rigid sole and substantial toe and heel welts. A nylon speed lever at the rear secures the boot and a fixed stainless steel front bale prevents total loss of the crampon should they be forced from the boot
• New-Matic: Using the same rear bale as the C-O-M, the New-Matic system offers more versatility and can be worn with overboots, or where the front welts are shallow and worn. The plastic harness system is hinged from the front posts to create a simple, secure, yet comfortable binding.

  New Classic: A take on the classic binding, using a plastic harness hinged from retention posts, opened to accept the boot then closed to keep it securely in place. A single strap closure makes it perfect for rentals or first-time users
