The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
Griffin 10
Description
The GRIFFIN 10 crampons are designed for glacier travel, classic mountaineering, and ski touring, delivering performance and security across a wide range of alpine terrain. They’re compatible with all boots featuring heel welts. The 10-point configuration provides excellent stability for walking on hard snow and front-pointing on ice.
The GRIFFIN range stands out with its innovative adjustment system: it allows an extremely simple and precise fit when presenting the crampon onto the boot, while its (Patent Pending) Sliding collar ensures ultimate security.
Another major innovation lies in the 3D shaping of the front and rear rails: made with only 2mm thick steel, they provide ultra-efficient penetration into snow and ice. The result: significantly improves traction and increases stability in technical terrain.
- Materials: Chromoly steel - 2mm thickness, Nylon, TPU
- Comes with: a standard toe bail to fit better all skiing boots and semi-auto toe basket.
- Front and rear rails with 10 steel points
- Quick adjustment system and central steel bar
- Front and rear ABS
- Storing bag included
- Heel lever with micro-adjustment
- Interchangeable front binding system for compatibility with both welted and non-welted boots

CertificationCertificationsThe 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. Learn MoreRock and Ice Certifications Guide |
