Grivel G14

[Mike P.]

G-10's would be fine for general mountaineering. I have G-12's with the hybrid binding which require a heel platform but work with some leather boots with platforms or norwegian welt boots. Beside catching your pants with aggressive front points you risk catching a crampon on the front foot, same thing as pant legs, trip & fall

Yeah i looked at the G10's and G12's online....EMS doesn't sell them unfortunatly. At any rate i think that i'm gonna buy an ice axe!!

So are you getting an axe instead of crampons? Do you currently own any traction devices for your feet?

Yes I own crampons, oldies, they have the old Neoprean, (SP?) bindings. They're probably 15-20 years old, passed down to me from my uncle. They don't have very sharp points, but they work. I plan on upgrading crampons next season maybe, but i did get a 70mm BD Ice axe.....
