Grivel G20 Plus LT Katana Crampon Silver/Yellow, Cramp-O-Matic

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have run both the forged and Katana front point versions of the G20 Plus LT and the Katana configuration is my preference for mixed terrain where I need the point to find purchase on small rock features as well as ice. The mono-point setup gives you a level of footwork precision that changes how you approach technical sequences, and the removable front Antibott is something I genuinely appreciate on clean ice days when every gram matters. This is a crampon for climbers who think carefully about their footwork.""Steep ice and mixed climbing reward precise footwork above almost everything else, and the Grivel G20 Plus LT Katana Crampon is built to support exactly that. The mono-point configuration with Katana front point gives you access to small features and thin placements that wider front points cannot engage, and the Katana geometry is particularly effective on the rock and ice transitions that define demanding mixed terrain. Every placement feels deliberate, and that confidence carries forward into how you move through the hardest sections of a route. The interchangeable front point system means the G20 Plus LT Katana is not locked into a single application. An optional Razor front point is available separately for maximum performance on pure ice, and the Grivel Crampon System supports further component customization as your climbing evolves. The removable front Antibott saves weight on clean ice pitches while the fixed rear Antibott keeps traction reliable underfoot in all conditions. LT construction optimizes the steel frame for reduced weight without compromising the durability that technical climbing demands, landing at 821g per pair across European sizes 37 to 48. CE EN 893 and UIAA 153 certified and built for climbers who take steep terrain seriously."
