Shorter underfoot spikes make the semi-rigid Air Tech Light Crampons from Grivel extremely functional when you're walking on rock and snow. The short spikes reduce leverage when used with lightweight footwear while the front and secondary points are full-length for better snowfield penetration.

Features:

  • Antibot plates are included to keep snow from building up underfoot
  • Constructed from aluminum, making them extremely light in weight
  • In addition to 10 walking points, an extra pair of points grip on traverses and the double angle on the final front points bite down on the descent
  • Serrated points bite well on a wide variety of surfaces
  • Tool-free adjustment of the center bar offers two length options to fit a variety of boot sizes (an XL center bar needed to fit boots larger than 11)
  • Unique point configuration ensures complete sole coverage of wide boots

The combination of extremely strong and sophisticated materials, together with Grivel's advanced technology lie behind the realization of this crampon by Grivel, which leaves all the other models on the market far behind. Ten points in contact with ice while you're walking and twelve that bite into the slope during traverses. The last two front points are Bi-angular to maintain bite when descending or traversing sideways. Even the soles of the most modern boots are perfectly covered. Designed for ski touring, competitive ski mountaineering, classical mountaineering routes and for high altitude or distant expeditions where weight is the determining factor. The model comes with the Flex bar, which allows the foot free movement without over stressing the crampon. New Classic binding system with bi-component strap giving maximum strength and maximum adherence.
