| From Moosejaw:
The Air Tech Crampon by Grivel is a hybrid design that combines the benefits of 10 and 12-point models in one crampon. The points underfoot are short to reduce leverage when used with modern, lightweight footwear while the front and secondary points remain full-length to tackle technical terrain. Dual-orientation of quaternary points improves security on steep slopes, whether descending or traversing and the unique point configuration ensures complete sole coverage of wide boots. The toothed (serrated) points bite well on a wide variety of surfaces. The Air Tech Crampon features tool-free regulation of the center bar offers two length options to fit a variety of boot sizes (an XL center bar is required to fit boots larger than 11). Four different types of bindings are available to adapt to virtually any type of footwear. Specifications: - Weight: 940-1008 gm

- Points: 12
Binding: Cramp-O-Matic - Weight: 1008 gm

Grivel Air Tech Light Crampons are ideal mountaineering trips where cutting weight is a priority, but you still need acceptable performance. Also a favorite among ski mountaineers who must carry crampons but do not use them often, the Air Tech Light Crampons are made with aluminum instead of steel to cut weight to a scant 16.79oz. Though they shouldn't be expected to climb steep ice, they offer excellent performance on compact nieve. These Grivel crampons also have full-length front points for more secure travel on steeper terrain. Select the New Matic bindings for use with ski and mountaineering boots, or get the New Classic for the ability to strap these ultralight crampons on everything from big boots to running shoes.
