Description

A classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice , rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes.
The four points that are perpendicular to the crampon rails, prevent shearing in soft snow and improve security while descending (facing outward). The crampons are fully adjustable by hand, without tools and one size fits all.
G12 is easily folded for transportation.

Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.

Alpinist Gear Review rating 5/5

In all, I (along with many clients) found these spikes perfect for everything from
moderate water ice to long glacier routes to mixed alpine climbs. If a single pair
of do-it-all crampons is what you're after, then the G12s won't let you down.
Pros: Versatile; excellent antibott plate design that prevents balling; durable.
Cons: Trimming the sizing bar may be necessary to compress the crampons fully
for storage.
