GSb Binding

Having nearly had a nasty accident when a clip-on crampon popped off my boot while leading, I was keen to try the new GSb system on the Grivel G14 crampon and Scarpa Freney XT boot. Touted as the fastest and most-secure crampon attachment system yet, the GSb (Grivel/Scarpa binding) eliminates the crampon's standard toe bale, replacing it with a steel hook that inserts into a hole in the toe of the boot.
