Grivel’s G12 crampon with New-Matic EVO binding is a classic for mountaineering and moderate ice routes. A C2-rated model, the New-Matic EVO binding system features a hinged plastic harness at the front to hold boots securely, even if they have shallow or worn front welts. Set in a 12-point configuration, the G12 gives stability and security in all snow conditions. A crucial addition, the Grivel Antibott plates help prevent snow from balling up underneath.

C1 C1 crampons have a tape tether that pulls flexible cradles around the heel and toe to create a secure binding. This system allows good flex and is suitable for fitting to B1, B2 or B3 boots. It is usually found on low profile 10 point crampons with less aggressive points. They are ideal for winter walking or glacier traverses.
C2 C2 crampons use a plastic heel lever and a flexible toe cradle. This system will give a secure binding to B2 or B3 boots. Crampons tend to be mid-profile with longer secondary spikes and sharper front points. These are the 12 point all-rounders that are easy enough to walk in but still climb hard when called on. Excellent for winter climbing and alpinism.
C3 C3 crampons combine a plastic heel lever and metal toe bar. This system gives a really solid fit but will only work with full B3 boots. Usually a C3 binding is found on bigger, badder 12 or 14 point crampons that offer precise performance on steep ice or highly technical mixed routes. Very aggressive vertical front points give the best penetration on hard ice.
