GRIVEL G20 Plus Cramp-O-Matic EVO — Lightweight Mono Point Crampon for Steep Ice

GRIVEL G20 Plus Cramp-O-Matic EVO: Precision and Durability for Steep Ice

The GRIVEL G20 Plus Cramp-O-Matic EVO is designed for climbers who pursue steep ice and technical mixed routes with confidence. Its lightweight frame is paired with a robust front point, delivering an agile feel on demanding terrain while maintaining strength for long sessions on ice, snow, and rock faces. This crampon is crafted to balance responsiveness with durability, helping you focus on technique rather than equipment limits.

Key design features that matter in the field were prioritized to support real-world ascent needs. The G20 Plus weighs in at 30.4 oz, making it one of the lightest technical mono-point crampons available. Two center points provide perpendicular holding power when you are walking downhill or standing on irregular ice features, contributing to steadier footwork on variable terrain. A removable hot-drop-forged front point adds targeted strength where it matters most, extending life under tough climbing conditions.
