Overview
On a ski tour with a steep section ahead, these Grivel crampons clip to a boot through a front bail shaped for current touring boots. The binding is simple and light, and the crampons pack down compactly.
The reason to buy is a purpose-built ski touring binding that adapts to modern boots and stores compactly. Steel points give grip on icy sections. The limitation is boot compatibility, since traditional mountain boots may not fit the front bail.
Who it's for
Ski tourers who occasionally cross icy or steep sections will use the compact size and simple binding. Hikers and climbers on traditional boots should look at a different crampon.
Pros and cons
- Binding made for ski touring
- Front bail adapts to modern boots
- Compact for storage
- Steel points grip ice
- Not for traditional mountain boots
- Point count not listed
- Weight heavier than a minimalist option
- One size only
Performance notes
The front bail holds the crampon at the toe and a heel mechanism completes the fit, so the binding shape must match the boot sole. Steel points bite into ice and hard snow. A light, compact pair is easy to carry between skinning and climbing sections.
