Grivel GX LT Hybrid Crampons
If you’ve previously been scared off compact foldable crampons by seemingly flimsy pieces of high-tech cord linking the toe and heel, the GX LT Hybrid Crampons from Grivel are here to provide the best of both worlds for you. A unique hinge on the solid connecting bar of the crampon allows compact folding without compromising lateral rigidity. This gives you the packability of the Petzl Irvis Hybrid and the Blue Ice Harfang, with the security of a much bulkier crampon featuring a solid linking bar. 6 steel front points and 4 aluminum heel points ensure secure traction on firm surfaces without compromising weight or durability when you find yourself on rock. Proactive Antibott plates on the front and rear reduce snow build-up on gloppy snow, keeping your crampons functional and, more importantly, weight down. Long gone are the days of choosing between the crampon performance you want and one that will fit in your 20L skimo pack. For security and packability, check out the GX LT Hybrid.
