The Grivel G14 New Matic Evo Crampon is a 12-point crampon for technical mountaineering.
The G14 has 12 points. The 2 front ones are hot-forged, are replaceable and can be mounted in both bi-point and mono-point configuration. The forging allows a three-dimensional shape to improve both the penetration into the ice, without rebounds, and the support. They can be replaced if worn out. Adjustable central bar. Equipped with the famous Grivel proactive Antibott both in the front and the rear. Available with Cramp-o-Matic or New-Matic binding.
The New-Matic is an evolution of the Cramp-O-Matic system which utilises the C-O-M rear bale and lever. The plastic harness system is hinged from two front posts which retain the boot securely even if it has a shallow, worn front welt or overboots are being used.
It is a simple and efficient binding, being far more versatile than the original Cramp-O-Matic style. Made in dual-component plastic: the black part is stronger, bearing the strain whilst the yellow part is softer, increasing adherence to the boot. The harness is made from the strongest, most durable plastic available -Zytel DuPont, which was developed for the manufacture of alpine ski bindings. Obviously it cannot last forever, so please, after long and severe use replace the harness the same way you would resole trekking boots or rock climbing shoes.
