Full details
The Grivel G10 New-Matic Evo crampon is designed for a wide range of mountaineers, from beginners to experienced users, offering versatility for glacier walking, classical mountaineering, and ski touring. Its primary benefit is the balanced design with 10 steel points that facilitate walking while providing secure traction. A potential caveat is that its all-around design might not be specialized enough for extreme technical ice climbing.

FAQs
What type of boots are compatible with the New-Matic Evo binding?
The New-Matic Evo binding is an automatic system that requires boots with a heel welt. It is designed to securely attach to boots with this specific feature.
How do I adjust the size of the crampon?
The crampon features an adjustable regulation bar located in the center. Loosen the mechanism on this bar, slide it to the correct position for your boot length, and then re-tighten securely.
What is the purpose of the Antibott system?
The Antibott system consists of flexible plates designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating on the crampon points, which can compromise grip and performance.
Are these crampons suitable for ice climbing?
The G10 New-Matic Evo is designed for general mountaineering, glacier walking, and ski touring. While it can handle some ice, it may not be ideal for highly technical or vertical ice climbing due to its balanced point design.
What is the weight of the Grivel G10 New-Matic Evo?
The weight is approximately 852 grams per pair for the New-Matic EVO model.
What certifications do these crampons have?
They are certified to CE EN 893 and UIAA 153 standards, ensuring they meet international safety and performance requirements.
How should I clean and maintain my crampons?
After each use, dry them thoroughly. Rinse with clean water if exposed to salt or dirt. Store in a dry place, ideally in a protective bag. Inspect regularly for wear.
Troubleshooting
Crampons feel loose on boots.
Re-adjust the central regulation bar for a tighter fit and ensure the heel lever is fully engaged. Check for debris in the binding mechanism.
Snow and ice build up excessively on points.
Ensure the Antibott system is clean and functioning correctly. Tap the crampons firmly to dislodge accumulated snow. Avoid walking on very slushy snow if possible.
Difficulty engaging the heel lever.
Check that the heel welt of your boot is clean and free of ice. Ensure the lever is aligned correctly with the welt before pressing down.
Rust appears on steel points.
This is normal with steel in wet conditions. Dry thoroughly after use. Light surface rust can be removed with a fine-grit abrasive pad and will not affect performance. For significant rust, consult a specialist.
