Grivel G10 Evo Crampon Black, Wide New-Classic

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I recommended the G10 Evo to a friend getting into mountaineering and ended up borrowing a pair myself for a ski touring objective where I needed something that would strap over a boot that my other crampons would not fit. The New Classic EVO binding snugged up quickly and held solid all day, and the proactive antibotts kept the snow from building up underfoot on the descent where wet snow was really wanting to stick. A genuinely versatile crampon that does not make you work too hard to use it.""The Grivel G10 Evo Crampon is the kind of gear that removes friction from your morning and lets you focus on the mountain ahead. Strapping in is fast, the New Classic EVO binding adjusts to fit virtually any boot style, and the redesigned buckle and webbing system means you are not wrestling with your feet in the cold before a glacier crossing or an early morning alpine start. Six front points and four rear points give you a stable, confident platform across the full range of snow and ice terrain, from broad glacier approaches to steeper classic mountaineering lines. Hot-forged Cro-Moly steel construction brings durability and bite to every step, while the proactive Antibott system front and rear sheds snow buildup automatically so your footing stays honest on mixed and wet terrain. Flex bars are included for size adjustment and the crampon fits shoe sizes 4. 5 to 13, covering almost every foot heading into the hills. CE EN 893 and UIAA 153 certified and suitable for glacier walking, ski touring, and classic mountaineering, the G10 Evo is a capable, approachable crampon that grows with you as your objectives do."
