G22 Cramp-O-Matic Mountaineering Crampon

About the Grivel G22 Cramp-O-Matic

The G22 Cramp-O-Matic Crampon from Grivel gives you an ergonomic, semi-rigid alpine crampon with a simple design that's perfect for plastic mountaineering boots with a rigid sole and substantial toe and heel welts. The low profile keeps the foot closer to the rock or ice giving you greater control while the forged steel points make short work of hard ice.

Tool free adjustment makes the G22 quick and convenient to secure, with a nylon speed lever in the rear working with a stainless steel front bale and adjustable single strap to hold the crampon firmly in place. Front and rear bales feature adjustable positioning allowing you to customise the angle of the fit to suit your footwear.

Underfoot, up to twelve laser cut Chromolly steel points provide traction over icy routes while Grivel's patented MONO-RAIL technology works to distribute the points in an intelligent way, dampening vibration for more efficient penetration and grip. The semi-rigid flex-bar features a lift tab release that quickly expands or retracts to fit a range of boot sizes.

The G22 Cramp-O-Matic features Grivel's Antibott system (as can be seen in the video). This pro-active, anti-ball plate design works to prevent the build-up of wet snow and ice underfoot, which can otherwise render the crampon's grip ineffective and lead to slips and falls.

The low weight makes them great for the fast moving alpinist negotiating challenging ascents on back-country ski tours or mountaineering expeditions.

The two parts are designed to fit together - points inward - to be stowed safely when not in use.

The Grivel G22 Cramp-O-Matic Crampon delivers durable construction with a customizable design to give you a product you can rely on from alpine climbs to cascade ascents this device will help get you to the top and back again.
