Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel G14 GSB Crampon (Fall 2007) G14 crampons by Grivel combine the technical performance of forged, vertical front points with the low profile, collapsible frame of the G12 to make a modular and customizable crampon suited to many climbing disciplines. G14 crampons are equally at home on hard sport mixed routes and high level alpine climbs, torquing in cracks or balancing up here today/ gone tomorrow ice features. Forged front points penetrate hard ice better than stamped points and offer the opportunity to combine vertical and horizontal axis. G14 is delivered in a dual point configuration. Spacers to build mono point crampons are included and are simple to configure. Placing the same point in different notches on the frame changes the length and inclination of the point, allowing the user to customize the crampon for a particular style of climbing. The mono-point is longer and has a shallower angle of attack than the dual point configuration, which improves rock-climbing performance on modern mixed routes. Dual points offer better shear resistance on snow and ice, and they are arguably a bit more stable. Two different types of bindings are available to adapt to virtually most technical climbing footwear. G14 won the Climbing Magazine Editor's Choice award in 2004.

From Backcountry.com:
"The incredible versatility and supreme technical performance of the Grivel G14 Crampon make it a favorite for steep ice climbing and burly alpine ascents. Its two vertical front points have excellent ice penetration, and hot-forging makes them strong enough to stand up to repeated bashings on too-thin ice. The G14 Crampon can also be configured with a monopoint for mixed and highly technical ice climbing no extra parts required. This Grivel crampon's all-around performance won it the Climbing Magazine Editor's Choice Award in 2004 and made it a favorite of alpine climbers with an eye for good gear."

From EMS:
"The do-it-all Grivel G14 Crampons convert from a flexible to rigid platform, fit both leather and plastic boots, and have vertical front points that convert to a mono point setup. A dream come true for those who mix in ice climbing with mountaineering. The low profile of the crampon frame places the climber's foot closer to rock or ice and is less prone to balling up. Front points are simple to configure on the G14, allowing the user to build mono- or dual-point crampons and replace worn points easily. Gorged points penetrate hard ice better with less vibration. Secondary points are very long and aggressive (key for vertical ice). Includes antibot plate to prevent snow buildup. Adjusts to fit metric boot sizes 36 to 47. 2 pounds 3 ounces per pair."
