Grivel GX LT Hybrid Dual (T-Matic Evo/COM Ski Evo) Black, T-Matic/Cramp-O-Matic

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the GX LT Hybrid out on a ski mountaineering objective with a long approach and a technical summit finish. The steel front points bit in confidently where the snowpack firmed up near the top, and I barely noticed the weight on the way up thanks to the aluminum rear. Being able to fold them down small and stash them in my pack without any fuss made the transitions way smoother.""The alarm goes off before the sun, and the window is narrow, so every gram and every second counts. The GX LT Hybrid crampon from Grivel is built for exactly that kind of objective, the kind where you're skinning before dawn, swapping into crampons on a wind-scoured col, and making moves on a technical summit before the afternoon clouds roll in. This is a crampon designed around speed without asking you to gamble on security. The hybrid construction puts steel where it matters most, across the front points where traction on firm neve and ice is non-negotiable, while the aluminum rear section trims weight for the long approaches that define ski mountaineering objectives. The Bi-Fold Bar folds the crampon down into a compact package that disappears into your pack on the ski descent, and Antibott protection front and rear keeps snow from balling up underfoot when conditions turn wet and variable. With the Grivel Crampon System allowing interchangeable components, the GX LT Hybrid can be dialed to your exact binding setup and adapted as your objectives evolve."
