Home > Ice Axes & Crampons   Grivel G12 Post a Review Reviews Views Date of last review 2 4584 Fri Nov 5, 2004 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers $75.00 9.0 Description: Buy it at the Mountaineer. A classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice and rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes. The four points that are perpendicular to the crampon rails, prevent shearing in soft snow and improve security while descending (facing outward). The crampons are fully adjustable by hand, without tools and one size fits all. G12 is easily folded for transportation. Technical Specifications: Horizontal Dual points (forged) Semi-rigid Weight: 2 lbs 1 oz

Top-notch quality, perfect fit on my nepals, and it can handle anything, though on vertical ice it is easily outdone by something with a little more teeth (g-14). For beginners getting into ice, i would highly reccomend this crampon, as it got me through my first season.
