The Grivel Air Tech Newmatic represents the new generation of ultra lightweight and compact crampons.
The Air Tech Newmatic utilizes its 10+2 point construction to ensure 10 points grip with the ice, and all 12 are employed on traverses.
The Air Tech Newmatic is semi-rigid, in one adjustable size, and allows itself to be folded completely up to ensure it does not take up any valuable space.
Grivel: Forging a Place in History
From a blacksmith’s forge at the foot of the highest mountain in the Alps, Grivel have become world leaders in the manufacture of crampons and ice axes.
The oldest company in existence making equipment for Alpinism and climbing, Grivel began forging agricultural tools in a small, metal-working factory in Courmayeur, near Mount Blanc, in 1810. Nearly 100 years later Henry Grivel commercialised the first crampon prototype, using re-forged railway ties which provided the best-quality steel around.
Today, their Cramp-o-Matic, Air Tech and New Classic crampons, along with Munro, Brenva and Matrix ice axes, are used by climbers and Alpinists everywhere, helping to forge their reputation as masters of their mountain craft.
