mzvarner Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have a pair of trango extremes and I am considering a pair of vertical front point crampons. Whne i tried the fit of the Grivel crampons (G-14, Rambos) they seemed to fit better than the Cyborgs. What are the opinions of the populace of fit and function between the two?

RafalA Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Whatever fits. They all seem to work well (I've climbed on all your listed models). My preference is towards the Rambo's as I love the splayed out secondary points letting me hook pillars and funky ice more easily. I hate the rigid plastic antibot and am going to cut mine out. They're mono-only, though. I'd also look at the Petzl Dart/win and the Grivel G20/G22. A recent experience with these has converted me to the lighter side.

BigSky Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've had all three you mention as well and the G14's probably fit my boots the best on average. The performance was indistinguishable to my elementary foot the for Cyborg and G14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldfinger Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My 2 cents with the Rambo/G14 is that the curly loop toe bail is the only one I've ever had pop off a boot. Seems Grivel pons are a bit heavy and a bit heavier than Grivel says they are. I have BD Sabers and have switched out the toe bails for Petzl toe bails and a much better fit.
