FAQs

What type of boots are compatible with the G20 Plus crampons?

The G20 Plus crampons use the Cramp-O-Matic Evo binding system, which requires boots with a rigid sole and both a heel welt and a toe welt.

Are these crampons suitable for general mountaineering?

While they offer excellent performance, their design is optimized for technical ice climbing and dry tooling. For general mountaineering, other crampon models might be more versatile.

How do I replace the front points?

The front points are replaceable. You can purchase Grivel G20 Plus Forged Points and follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacement, which typically involves removing a screw or pin.

What is the weight of the G20 Plus crampons?

The Grivel G20 Plus crampons weigh 844g per pair, making them an ultra-light option.

What certifications do these crampons have?

They are certified to CE EN 893 and UIAA 153 standards.

How often should I check my crampons for wear?

It is recommended to inspect your crampons before and after each significant use, paying close attention to the points, the binding system, and the adjustment bar for any signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

Crampon won't secure to boot

Ensure your boot has the necessary heel and toe welts for the Cramp-O-Matic system. Verify the crampon is adjusted to the correct length for your boot and that the heel lever and toe bail are fully engaged.

Points not penetrating ice effectively

Check if the front points are worn. Consider replacing them with new G20 Plus Forged Points. Ensure you are using proper climbing technique for ice penetration.

Antibott system is ineffective

The Antibott system is designed to reduce weight. Ensure it is clean and free of ice buildup. For extreme conditions, consider alternative Antibott solutions if available and compatible.

Bar adjustment is stiff

Clean the adjustment mechanism to remove any debris. Lubricate lightly with a dry lubricant suitable for outdoor gear if necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior stability due to point design.
  • Durable forged steel front points.
  • Easy to adjust for a secure fit.

  • Primarily designed for technical climbing, less ideal for general mountaineering.
  • Single Antibott system may not be sufficient for all conditions.
  • Requires compatible boots for the Cramp-O-Matic binding system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The G20 Plus crampons utilize the Cramp-O-Matic Evo binding system, which requires boots with a rigid sole and a heel welt for the heel lever and a toe welt for the front lever. Ensure the boot fits snugly within the crampon's frame before engaging the levers. Adjust the length of the crampon using the central bar mechanism to match your boot size precisely. Test the fit and security of the binding before heading out.

Compatibility: These crampons are compatible with boots featuring heel and toe welts suitable for automatic (Cramp-O-Matic) binding systems. Always check your boot's compatibility before purchasing.

Care: After each use, clean the crampons thoroughly with water to remove ice, snow, and dirt. Dry them completely before storing to prevent rust. Inspect all points and the binding system for wear or damage. Replace worn points with genuine Grivel G20 Plus Forged Points. Store in a dry place, ideally with crampon covers to protect sharp points and other gear.
