A new generation of crampons. Ten points in contact with ice while you’re
walking, 12 that bite into the slope during traverses. This has been made possible
because the third pair of points are shorter and wider apart. On top of this the
last two front points have a double angulation to maintain bite when descending
or traversing sideways. The crampons points are short and designed for the new
requirements of “mixed modern’s” alternating ice and rock. Sharp
points are ideal for anchoring on ice “cauliflowers” and when in traction
or adherence. Even the soles of the most modern boots are perfectly covered.
Semi-rigid model in one adjustable size.
The bar can be regulated by hand, in two different lengths.
These New version has a new binding made in “bi-components” giving
greater efficiency and lightness.
It is really an “all seasons” crampon, very light and takes up a minimum
of space as it folds up completely on itself.

Binding: Cramp-O-Matic:
A well known system which relies on a nylon speed lever in the rear and a stainless
steel front bale to hold the boot. Quick to put on, these bindings are perfect
for plastic mountaineering boots that have a rigid sole and substantial heel and
toe welts. The stainless steel safety strap, which was invented by Grivel, is
permanently mounted on the front bale and prevents total loss of the crampon should
it be forced off the boot.
Binding: New-Classic:
An evolution of the Classic binding. Both front and rear plastic harnesses are
hinged from their respective retention posts and may be "opened" to
facilitate attachment to the boot, then closed securely once the boot is inside.
The single strap closure system is so simple we may not need to provide instructions;
the New Classic is therefore ideal for rental programs and first time users. This
system is simple and reliable, quick and easy, but it does take up a bit more
space in the rucksack.
Binding: New-Matic:
An evolution of the Cramp-O-Matic system which utilises the C-O-M rear bale and
lever. The plastic harness system is hinged from two front posts which retain
the boot securely even if it has a shallow, worn front welt or overboots are being
used. It is a simple and efficient binding, being far more versatile than the
original Cramp-O-Matic style. Made in dual-component plastic: the black part is
stronger, bearing the strain whilst the yellow part is softer, increasing adherence
to the boot. The harness is made from the strongest, most durable plastic available
-Zytel DuPont, which was developed for the manufacture of alpine ski bindings.
Obviously it cannot last forever, so please, after long and severe use replace
the harness the same way you would resole trekking boots or rock climbing shoes.
Binding: GSB:
The next generation of binding. The GSb™ (Grivel Scarpa binding) is a safer,
easier and faster system to attach to the boot. It’s safer because with
the GSb™ ,there is nothing potruding that could catch on rocks or in cracks,
resulting in the front bale being detached. It’s easier because unlike traditional
models, the GSb™’s hook grip doesn’t depend on the shape, or
above all the wear of the boots’ sole. It’s faster than any other
system – very useful if you have to continually put them on and off. It’s
more compact: limiting the space needed to stow away crampons.
