The combination of extremely strong and sophisticated materials, together with Grivel’s advanced technology lie behind the realization of the Grivel Air Tech Light crampon, which leaves all the other models on the market far behind.

Built from light alloy materials that slash the weight by almost 50% (a mere 476g without the anti-bott). Ten points in contact with ice while you’re walking and twelve that bite into the slope during traverses. The last two front points are Bi-angular to maintain bite when descending or traversing sideways. Even the soles of the most modern boots are perfectly covered.

Designed for ski touring, competitive ski mountaineering, classical mountaineering routes and for high altitude or distant expeditions where weight is the determining factor.

Weight:
Without Anti-Bott - 1 lb 1 oz / 476g
With Anti-Bott - 1 lb 5.8 oz / 600g

New-Matic Bindings: An evolution of the Cramp-O-Matic system which utilizes the C-O-M rear bale and lever. The plastic harness system is hinged to two front posts which retain the boot securely even if it has a shallow front welt, the welt is worn down completely or overboots are being used. It is a simple and efficient binding, far more versatile than the original Cramp-O-Matic. The harness is made from the strongest, most durable plastic available -Zytel DuPont, developed for the manufacture of alpine ski bindings - but obviously, it cannot last forever. So please, after long and severe use replace the harness the same way you would resole trekking boots or rock climbing shoes.

*When comparing price to other crampons, consider that Grivel Air Tech Light crampons come standard with Anti-Bott anti-balling plates. Anti-botts are flexible sheets that prevent snow build-up beneath the crampon. The Anti-bott is essential for safety in wet snow conditions.
