Grivel G10 New-Matic EVO 10-Point Crampon for Mountaineering

Overview

The Grivel G10 New-Matic EVO is a versatile 10-point crampon designed to support both first-time climbers and seasoned mountaineers. With 6 front points and 4 rear points, it balances bite with walkability, making approach routes, glacier travel, and mixed terrain more manageable. The slightly rounded tips help reduce snag on rock while maintaining solid traction on firm snow, so you can move smoothly between sections without constantly reconfiguring your gear. The central regulation bar lets you dial in the fit to match a range of boot sizes, and options include New Matic or New Classic bindings for secure, reliable attachment. Proactive Antibott guards at both the front and the rear help shed loose snow, helping you maintain traction on longer ascents. The result is a setup that aims to be versatile, not bulky – easy to carry, easy to deploy, and ready for a variety of alpine adventures.

Why choose the G10 New-Matic EVO

Versatility is the strongest feature of this crampon. The 10-point arrangement delivers dependable bite on steep faces while keeping overall weight manageable, so you can transition from approach to ascent with greater confidence. Its compact profile means less bulk in your pack and less fatigue on long days. The ability to use either New Matic or New Classic bindings broadens compatibility with common boots, reducing the need for multiple pairs of crampons on trips with varied terrain. Certifications CE EN 893 and UIAA 153 reinforce safety and reliability expectations for alpine expeditions. For climbers who value dependable performance without overcommitting to one rigid setup, the G10 EVO offers a balanced blend of grip, stability, and maneuverability.
