Grivel G12 EVO - New Classic

Grivel G12 EVO Crampons

Grivel have updated the very popular G12 crampon with improved attachment systems that connect even better with the boots and with thinner 12 mm webbing (the previous versions used 14 mm webbing).
The G12 EVO retains all the features of the previous version that make this one of the most popular crampons on the market and is an excellent all-round mountaineering crampon.
A 12 point crampon is perfect for general mountaineering, being practical for walking and sufficiently technical for climbing many alpine routes.
Compared to a 10 point walking crampon the additional 2 spikes on the toe unit of a 12 point crampon provide extra security on steep ground. The front points are longer, narrower and more aggressive to deal with ice and steep slopes.

The G12 EVO crampons are semi-rigid and combined with an appropriate boot they give more support on steeper ground, while still retaining a bit of flex on long walk ins.
The proactive antiballing plate helps keeps snow buildup to a minimum, by popping out the snow whilst you walk.

The webbing now closes in towards the boot and wraps around the front of the ankle and can be tucked into the back. 
The EVO buckle has also been improved and is easier to tighten and loosen. 
The New-matic and Cramp-o-Matic step-in bindings have also been improved and simplified with a smaller, simpler and lighter heel bail that is stronger and easier to adjust clip in height adjuster rather than the old screw adjustment system. 
These step-in bindings are now lighter, stronger and easier to adjust.

The Grivel G12 EVO will no doubt follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and be seen in the mountains for many years and is a avery good choice for general mountaineering.
