Description

The 12-point crampon for technical mountaineering.

G14 has 12 points. The 2 front ones are hot-forged, are replaceable and can be mounted in both bi-point and mono-point configuration. The forging allows a three-dimensional shape to improve both penetration into the ice, without rebounds, and support. They can be replaced if worn out. Adjustable central bar. Equipped with the famous Grivel proactive Antibott both in the front and the rear. Available with Cramp-O-Matic EVO or New-Matic EVO binding.

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.

G14

Pros
●Felt safer and more stable because of the anti-balling system
●Front points mede it better for mix alpinism and ice climbing.
●Front points are foged steel so they are stiff and stronger than most of the average crampons
●fits almost perfectly with no space between the crampon and boot
●Can change it to semi-automatic too
Cons
●They are heavier than standar crampons
●The forged front points are stronger but wear down easier
●Not that much affordable
●Its a bit overkill for non-thecnical routes
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

Im using it more than 5 or 6 months it was the best mix climbing  crampon in my country. I can't say The anti-balling plates are working %100 but you can fell the difference.

Its around 2 kg with my boots that translates to 8 kg on back so weight factor is not that good but overall its the best crampon i ever used.

Updated Grivel Evo Crampons

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.
