Grivel g12 manual

Since Grivel manufactures mountain equipment. Very sturdy and versatile. For my Raichle shoes I have the mixed version, with the fixed clip-on binding for the heel and the universal binding for the front. The heel clip-on binding is user-friendly and, once fastened, will stay tight all day www.

In neve this makes for solid placements, but I dislike walking in them and they are quite a lot heavier than the Air Techs. Also, the G12 has much longer, more pronounced secondary points, which provide additional stability on vertical ice. They are also not as nice for walking. There may be some situations where the longer points of the G12 provide penetration through slush into hard ice.

I have not encountered any yet. If you are using soft boots and flexible center bars, it sounds like you are sticking to pretty low-angle terrain, and not front-pointing much, if at all. That sound like Air-Tech territory to me. That said, the G12 is probably the most versatile crampon out there.

If you got it in the new-matic wire bail on the back, nyon strap on the front , with flexible and stiff bars, it will climb anything from easy snow to hard ice and mixed without complaint. Just pick your poison. I like them both in the appropriate terrain. Big fan of the steel Air Tech's myself as a general mtneering crampon.

And use the G12 on ice up to WI6 and M7. So obviously there is some serious over lap between models. Big boots? The flex bar thing is a "required" BD invention because their ss plate 'pon's break. Option for everyone else. Grivels don't break as a general rule.

For my Raichle shoes I have the mixed version, with the fixed clip-on binding for the heel and the universal binding for the front. The front fastening system, with the cord going through two simple rings, is very easy and effective and hardly needs any re-fastening, not even after some intensive climbing.
