Grivel Crampons

Grivel make ice axes, crampons, rucksacks and various other climbing and mountaineering accessories. This Italian company are widely regarded as being at the forefront of design in climbing gear.

Grivel G14 Cramp-o-matic Crampons: G14 crampons combine the technical performance of forged, vertical frontpoints with the low profile, collapsible frame of the G-12 to make an altogether fresh, modular, and customizable crampon suited to many climbing disciplines. Our success and experience with the Rambo crampons reinforces the validity of forged points: they penetrate hard ice better, with less vibration, and offer the opportunity to combine vertical and horizontal axis. Front points are simple to configure on the G14, allowing the user to build mono or dual point crampons and replace worn points easily. The low profile of the crampon frame places the climber´s foot closer to rock or ice, and is less prone to balling up. At last, alpine climbing crampons with the technical performance of their ice and modern mixed counterparts. The G14 crampon is delivered with the Antibott included.; £125.00

Grivel Air Tech New Classic Crampons: Ten points in contact with ice while you’re walking, 12 that bite into the slope during traverses. This has been made possible because the third pair of points are shorter and wider apart. On top of this the last two front points have a double angulation to maintain bite when descending or traversing sideways. The crampons points are short and designed for the new requirements of “mixed modern’s” alternating ice and rock. Sharp points are ideal for anchoring on ice “cauliflowers” and when in traction or adherence. Even the soles of the most modern boots are perfectly covered. Semi-rigid model in one adjustable size. The bar can be regulated by hand, in two different lengths. These New versions have a new binding made in “bi-components” giving greater efficiency and lightness. It is really an “all seasons” crampon, very light and takes up a minimum of space as it folds up completely on itself.; £90.00

Grivel Spider: A ten-pointed polyamide structure, which does not require adjustment to adapt to any type of shoe, in any size. Properly used, the Spider will provide an important margin of safety to the trekker who finds himself on snow, iced-over trails, wet grass and heather or simply hiking on steep, muddy terrain. While helpful to hunters and mountain photographers, Spiders are especially useful to professionals who encounter snow and ice on a daily basis in winter: park rangers, loggers and snow-making, equipment operators at ski resorts. Mountain Rescue Teams will appreciate the fact that Spiders may be adjusted to any shoes without tools. The two parts fit together for transport with the points facing inwards for safety. CAUTION: the Spider is not a crampon designed for alpinism; never attempt to use it on steep ice.; £20.00
