111 Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I just got a pair of G12s and wanted to know if anyone had any criticisims of them. I kinda dig them now. Quote
kioti Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I think it is the best glacier crampon available. Can't speak much of it's technical prowess, but it isn't really built to climb hard crap Quote
selkirk Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I've only drytooled and been on ice a handful of times, but managed to lead M-4 on them, and they dragged my ass up Chair Peak this winter. They pretty much rock unless you are talking really technical stuff when you start to want mono-points. The nice aggressive 2nd points are good for steep stuff as you don't have to droop your heels as far to get the 2nd points in contact with the ice as you do with many others. Quote
tomtom Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I've lead WI4 with a pair of strap-on G-12s. Them's fine poons. Quote
John Frieh Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 I watched Mr Issac onsight M9 in a pair of BD contacts (10 point crampons) and plastic boots... Practice practice practice and it won't matter what you do or don't have PS The search engine on this website rocks! Quote
