Mark_Husbands Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Anyone use Grivel Crampomatic G-14s on Lowa Civettas? How is the fit? Quote
fenderfour Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 The fit is ok. The rear bail has to be positioned just right or it doesn't want to lock down. The geometry on the heel of the boot makes lining up the plastic bit on the crampons a bit difficult. After the crampons are on, they stay on just fine. Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 so the rocker of the crampon fits the rocker of the boot OK? I've had problems with flat rockered boots leaving gaps. Quote
fenderfour Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 No problems there. I'm sure you know that the G-14's aren't fully rigid (like the vertically-railed Rambo). The spreader bar allows for enough flex to fit the boot. I wear a size 15, so there is plenty of space to allow the crampon to flex a little to fit. A more reasonable sized boot might not allow this. Second ascent has a bunch of Civetta's on their used rack and a pair of G-14's on display. You could probably do a test fit there. Quote
Ade Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I would definitely test fit. Boot sizing can make a big difference. Quote
