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.
Air Tech Light New Classic Wide Evo
Description
The "lightened" 12-point crampon of the Air tech family also for the most modern mountaineering boots.
Air Tech Light Wide is the crampon designed for those who practice snowboarding, telemarking and all activities that require the use of boots larger than normal. It has the front wider than the standard one.
Air Tech Light Wide, in aluminum, is a close relative of the Air Tech family but with a significantly lower weight. Suitable for both mountaineering and ski touring. It has 12 points distributed in order to allow incredible performances on ice and snow. Thanks to the flexible regulation bar, it follows every movement of our foot. Adaptable thanks to the New-Matic Wide EVO and New-Classic Wide EVO systems. Equipped with the famous Grivel proactive Antibott both in the front and the rear. Its strong points are lightness and stability.

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 |
