WE ARE HERE On arriving in Courmayeur from Chamonix the alpinist feels he’s discovered the other side of the moon. Even though the Italian and French Alps are part of the same mountain chain, the two sides appear completely different. Anyone used to the French side will find the other mysterious and unfamiliar. Initially it seems harsh and wild but on getting to know it better and adopting a cautious approach one falls under its influence and becomes totally bewitched! This is the home of Grivel.

GRIVEL PROACTIVE ANTIBOTT = extra safety The snow that builds up beneath the crampons could be a very dangerous problem.
The Grivel proactive antibuilding plate is the ultimate solution and a safety system. The first idea of a protective system was the Foot Fangs designed by Mike Lowe in 1972.
In 1997 Grivel was the first to deliver all the crampons equipped with an efficient antibott designed by New Alp.
In 2003 the proactive Grivel antibott made the ultimate system. It remains the more efficient and the only one working in all snow condition. It is a real safety system. Patented

CRAMP O MATIC A well known system which relies on a nylon speed lever at the rear and a stainless steel front bale to hold the booth.
NEW MATIC The plastic harness system is hinged from two front posts which retain the boot securely even if it has a shallow, worn front welt or overboots are beign used.
NEW CLASSIC Both front and rear plastc harnesses are hinged from their respective retention posts and may be “opened� to facilitate attachment to the boot, then closed securely once the boot is inside.
SKI MATIC 2.0 The front binding fits modern plastic ski touring boots and it is not guaranteed for traditional mountain boots. 16 - 17

Cross-loading happens when a carabiner is stressed on its minor axis. Carabiners are strongest when stressed on their major axis meaning directly in line, vertically, along the spine. When a carabiner is stressed on its minor axis it’s generally one third as strong.

Grivel has developed the GS, composed of a semi hard half-shell to better distribute the forces, coupled inside with a special honeycomb material able to absorb most of the energy without transferring it on the spine, finally protected by recurring damages. The back of the climbers thanks! Available as spare piece that fits all the new or used harnesses. • Absorbs most of the energy of a fall protecting the spine • Protects from shocks against hard surfaces • Adds comfort
gs - grivel shield 34 - 35
PROTECT YOUR SPINE To be easily tolerated by the climber a climbing fall requires two factors: the resistance of all the elements of the safety chain (rope, carabiners, protection etc) and their ability to absorb part of the energy released in the fall. The harness is practically static and transmits all the remaining energy on the thighs (that absorb it well), around the waist (that absorbs well enough) and on the spine where all the microtrauma add up creating permanent effects. For this Grivel has developed the GS composed of a half-shell semi hard to better distribute the forces, coupled inside with a special honeycomb material able to absorb most of the energy without transferring it on the spine. The back of the climbers thanks!

TOWARDS 200 YEARS
1818
In the Grivel family of blacksmiths started to transform their production of agricultural tools to satisfy the rather peculiar demands of a new breed of wealthy tourists who, for unfathomable reasons, wanted to climb the mountains!
1936
In , in collaboration for the first time with the Cogne steelworks, Amato Grivel, Laurent’s younger brother, using the Chromolly alloy (Nickel-Chrome-Molybdenum), created a really strong Grivel crampon, thinner and therefore lighter.
The English engineer Oscar Eckenstein was received with similar skepticism when in he asked Henry Grivel to manufacture the first modern Grivel crampons.
1909
1982
In a new management led by Gioachino Gobbi was convinced that over a hundred years of tradition, the brand name and the company’s location were a recipe for future success.
2009
1929
, Henry’s son Laurent made the brilliant invenIn tion of the two front points, allowing climbers to stand face on whilst attacking the steep ice and snow gradients. This innovation was the key to the conquest of the last unsolved route of the Alps: the North of the Eiger, 21-24th July, 1938.
1996
The Machine: the Grivel ice axe that revolutionized the design of technical tools. From now on this was the shape that all manufacturers would use.
2003
Grivel cramIn pons resolve the problem of snow build up under crampons with the first proactive anti-balling plate.
In May the company opened a new production unit in a much bigger space, allowing to manage different lines of production, to augment flexibility responding to daily new demands from around the world, and widen the range of products and maintain an avant-garde position in the marketplace. Since 2010 the new location has allowed us to switch to a total solar energy fueled production, cleaner and more ecofriendly. Every year they save 1,173 barrels of oil!
We make products that our customers have to rely on, with quality and safety as ultimate goals, based on our experience and optimizing our “Made in Italy”.
Innovation drives us forward but our roots are in Grivel’s long history, dating back to the foundation of the company in 1818.
Based at the foot of Mont Blanc it is essential for us to respect the enviroment. This comes through the use of renewable Energy for production, and a constant search for enviromental-friendly technologies and recycled materials.
