A classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice and rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes. The four points that are perpendicular to the crampon rails, prevent shearing in soft snow and improve security while descending (facing outward). The crampons are fully adjustable by hand, without tools and one size fits most. If you have a size 11.5 or bigger boot you may need the Long Bar. G12 is easily folded for transportation. The G12 crampon is delivered with the Antibott included.

I got the Classic G12 with the straps, Ive only used them a few times since i bought them, but so far so good. The front points are very aggressive and great for steeper icy slopes. The straps are very easy to cinch tight and the crampon is surprisingly solid on the boot. I got the straps because i wanted a crampon that i could use with my leather hiking boots if i needed to, but i also wanted a crampon that i could use with plastic boots for general mountaineering and maybe even ice climbing.

I have the standard strap on binding without the heel bail shown in the first picture. I have used the crampons with a set of Koflach's and have had no problems with them. I bought the crampons before the boots so was concerned with compatibility due to not knowing the type of boots I would buy. I bought them used, but they were easily sharpened and look to have many years left in them. I have used them in snow, and on ice climbs and have experienced no issues with the crampon sliding around. Next time knowing the boots I have I would buy a set with the heel bail, but do not regret the purchase that I made.
