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.
G20 Plus
Description
The ultra-light ice and mixed crampon that pushed the limit of the difficulties upwards.
G20 is revolutionary, ultra-light, designed for climbing, it has high performances on both ice and rock, ideal for cracks and even the smallest holds. It has a central point (replaceable in case of wear) in forged steel, which significantly improves the penetration and the strength of the front teeth. The position of each point is designed to provide greater stability in all climbing positions and on all forms of ice. It has only one Antibott system in the back to reduce weight to a minimum. The bar characterizes the product by providing at the same time rigidity and simplified adjustment system for all sizes, it also has two reinforced central points that help on icy structures or as retention points.

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 |
