Excellent 12-point semi-rigid ice, snow and mixed crampon with simple no tools adjustment. This crampon is similar to the Grivel G12 but has shorter points which make it easier and more comfortable to use as a walking crampon but still suitable for mountaineering and lower grade snow and ice climbs - and in fact just about any grade of mixed. Its lighter weight will appeal to high altitude mountaineers.
There are a number of binding systems available:
New-Classic: Superb all encasing basket system that means that you can put this crampon on just about anything that is B2 rated or above and it is supplied with a flexi-bar rather than a rigid one, making it more suitable for walking.
New-Matic: Semi step-in with Grivel's excellent plastic toe cap and fairly rigid bar - but will will fit only on semi-rigid B2 or B3 walking boots, with a step in on the heel.
Cramp-o-Matic: Full step-in with a wire front bail and fairly rigid bar. It's quick to put on in a blizzard and feels more rigid and secure than the other bindings, but you do have to get them on just right - rigid boots only. Fit only to a B3 Mountaineering Boot.
Dual-Matic: Can be set up either as a Cramp-o-Matic or as a Tape-Matic by changing the front binding. This means you can either have a full step-in with a wire front bail or you can have a semi step-in but, instead of the plastic toe cap, webbing straps are supplied - fit only on semi-rigid B2 or rigid B3 boots, with a step in on the heel.
Antibott (anti-balling plates) are included.
