From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel G10 New Classic Wide Crampon Package (Spring 2008) The G-10 Crampon by Grivel is the standard by which all other modern 10-point crampons are measured. They are tried end tested (since 1990) and used by trekkers, climbers, ski mountaineers, mountain rescue groups and elite, special operations personnel. Ten-point crampons provide security on terrain where the technical capacities of a 12-point model are unnecessary, from frozen stream beds to Mount Rainier to the Lions Head trail on Mount Washington to Everest's normal route. Ten-point models walk more efficiently than 12-point configurations, and they are lighter and more compact as well. Three different types of bindings are available to adapt to virtually any type of footwear. Also available in a Wide configuration to fit snow board boots, Sorels, etc. Specifications: Weight: 892-968 gm Materials: ChroMoly Steel Construction: 3D relief stamped Points: 10 Binding: Cramp-O-Matic Weight: 956 gm Binding: New Matic Weight: 968 gm Binding: New Classic Weight: 920 gm Binding: Wide New Classic Weight: 892 gm"

G10
Reviewed by Mountaineer, Mar 17, 2007

"Great for the price, used it on small ice travel and inclines; they did quit well. It's well built and does good on the the ice. It gets the job done. The only thing I noticed is, it needs to be kept quit sharp to get the most out of it, but that can pretty much be said for any pair of crampons."
