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.
G22 Plus Cramp O Matic Evo
Description
Modern and light crampon for technical mountaineering and ice climbing.
G22 PLUS is characterized by two front points in forged steel with T-structure that make it a crampon that can be used in conditions of steep ice and technical mixed routes and difficult north faces. Chosen by top climbers, it has 12 points and is used by those who prefer the stability of the two points compared to the use of the single point.
You can replace the front points in case of high wear. The plasticity of the forged steel ensures a tight grip on the rock and a "soft" penetration on the ice. The position of each point is designed to provide greater stability in all climbing positions and on all forms of ice. Equipped with the famous Grivel proactive Antibott system both on the front and on the back.
- Replacement points: G22+ Forged Points
- Special points: Katana G22+ Front 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 |
