G10 Evo Crampon

Crampons are specialized traction devices that attach to your footwear, providing essential grip on snow and ice. They feature metal spikes that dig into icy surfaces, allowing you to walk safely on steep terrain. If you're planning to climb in winter conditions or on glaciers, crampons are crucial for your safety and stability.

Anti-balling plates are designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating on the bottom of your crampons. When snow builds up, it can reduce traction and increase the risk of slipping. These plates keep your crampons clear, ensuring optimal performance and safety while you navigate icy surfaces.

The New-Matic harness is tailored for a secure fit on boots with worn welts, while the New-Classic harness accommodates a wider variety of boot types, including those without specific attachment points. Choosing the right harness system ensures that your crampons fit securely, enhancing your safety and performance on the mountain.

Dual front points refer to crampons that have two pointed spikes at the front, providing superior traction and stability on steep or icy surfaces. This design allows for better weight distribution and grip, making it easier to maintain your footing during challenging climbs, especially in technical conditions.

Mountaineering involves climbing mountains using various techniques and equipment, including crampons and ice axes, often in non-skiable terrain. Ski mountaineering combines skiing with climbing, where you ascend mountains on skis and then ski down. Both activities require specialized gear, including crampons, to navigate safely in snow and ice.

Yes, many crampons are versatile enough to be used for both mountaineering and ski mountaineering. However, it's essential to choose a model that suits your specific needs and the type of terrain you'll be tackling. Look for features like dual front points and appropriate harness systems to ensure optimal performance in both activities.
