pete_a Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Looking at picking up a pair of Grivel Air Tech Light crampons, but on the largest adjustment size, they don't fit my AT boots. Grivel makes an extra long bar that will make their crampons work for larger feet. Question is, I'm fairly certain that Grivel doesn't make a extra long bar out of the lightweight spring steel that the original bar is made from, but I've heard differing opinions on if the Air Tech Light is compatible with Grivel's longer bar that is just made from their usual steel stock. any advice? thanks.

Alpinfox Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Dear Sasquatch, Go to a store and find out. At least, that is what brian boitano would do (WWBBD?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_a Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) my feet aren't THAT big...US 12... FYI, Figger Eight did some checking (thanks Eddie), and just let me know that the standard extender bars will work and that Grivel will have the extender bars made out of the lightweight spring steel probably by mid-May.

mughjie Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Unless you plan to travel exclusively on snow, I'd consider a different light weight crampon. I broke 3 points (!) on my pair on Merchant last November and a friend broke one on DC last summer. These are not for use on rock at all. Even the Stubbais seem more durable.
