From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel G-12 XL Crampomatic Crampon (Fall 2009) The G-12 Crampon by Grivel is a classic 12-point crampon designed for general mountaineering, alpinism, mixed ice and rock climbing, and moderate waterfall routes. Despite the modern climber's tendency to use crampons with more technical capacity and weight than necessary it should be remembered that virtually every "hard"alpine route in Alaska or Chamonix may be done with the G-12. The horizontal front points provide better support in hard snow than vertically oriented points so the G-12 is especially suited to maritime climates where rime ice (rather than water ice) is expected. Three different types of bindings are available to adapt to virtually any type of footwear. Specifications: Weight: 1018-1134 gm Materials: ChroMoly Steel Construction: 3D relief stamped Points: 12 Binding: Cramp-O-Matic Weight: 1068 gm Binding: New Matic Weight: 1054 gm Binding: New Classic Weight: 1018 gm Binding: Cramp-O-Matic XL Weight: 1134 Binding: New Matic XL Weight: 1112"
From Backcountry.com:
"Alpine climbers and mountaineers count on the versatile Grivel G12 Crampons to take on any terrain they encounter in the mountains. This time-proven design is an excellent choice for everything but the steepest pitches of ice. Horizontal front points on the G12 reduce sheer in less-than-solid ice and other types of alpine funk. Three available attachment systems let you pick the perfect 'poons for your boots."

From REI:
"Updated classic 12-point crampons are designed for general mountaineering, mixed climbing and moderate ice climbing, featuring full antibott shields. Made with strong chromoly steel, the semi-rigid construction is suitable for 3/4-shank boots. New-Matic bindings are simple and efficient, allowing use of new, lighter weight mountaineering boots without significant welts at the toes. Flexible latex antibott shields prevent snow build-up beneath the crampon; additional hinge adjustment sleeves prevent snow build-up. Front Zytel straps attached to the front posts anchor the toes, while clip-in cams secure the heels; nylon ankle straps fasten with two ring buckles. Serrated points under heels provides better purchase on ice and snow for improved traction. Crampons adjust easily without tools; one size fits U.S. men's boot sizes 4 to 12 and European sizes 36 to 47."
