as a female with a narrow heel, finding a crampon that stays on my boots are key, and finding a crampon that prevents balling and added weight is even more important! these grivels do all that and remain sharp and spikey. I highly recommend them, easy to put on even with thick mittens on, easy to adjust and they keep their edge. I would recommend getting a crampon bag whe buying these or any crampons to keep them safe in your pack

Far better and more versitile than standard 10 point "general mountaineering" crampons. More agressive secondary points allow for more secure and efficient front pointing giving you more confidence on steep ice. New-Matic and New-Classic are great options for binding systems. New-Matic still works without substantial heel welts.

This crampon might look conventional, but it's not. Grivel has configured the geometry of the secondary points to be condusive to proper frontpointing technique. If you want "the crampon" that will last you a lifetime, then look past Petzl and BD, only get Grivel. They are worth it. I have climbed Grade IV, 5.9 alpine mixed routes in mY G-12's, and my friends borrow them to climb WI4. The construction and quality of this crampon is unrivaled in the climbing industry. Of course, Grivel invented the frontpoint crampon, so I would expect no less from them.
