FOCUS ON
Grivel’s goal is to make the life easier for climbers, alpinists, walkers, runners,
this is what we do and have done for nearly 200 years. Therefore we inspect on a
regular basis the efficiency of the fitting of our crampons on
climbing shoes. Often the shoe-makers
change the shape of the sole. You will remember
the generation of asymme-trically curved alpine boots.
So we know that we have to adapt our crampons and our binding systems to different
configurations!
The totally new, and paten-ted, Twin reGUlaTion Bar,
allows the crampons to fit the “hole” (empty space) of the
new soles.
To make easier and more ergonomic the regulation of the length of the crampons we have developed a new rear spring: THe MolleTTa.
we ManiFacTUre in iTaly wiTH solar enerGy• The roof of the factory is around 7000
square meters, and the solar panels cover a surface equivalent to a football field
• Our solar panels generate around 516 Kwp
• They produce the energy consumption of 194 families
• They save the planets’air of 806 Kg of CO2, equivalent of a car travelling 5.800
• During their 25-year lifecycle, they will produce around 12.000.000 KWh, which would cover the needs of one family for 4.200 years
• Every year they will save 1.173 barrels of oil.

Amato Grivel, Laurent’s younger brother, using the Chromolly alloy (Nickel-Chrome-
Molybdenum), created a really strong crampon, thinner and lighter than the others: 360 grams a pair. These crampons, the Super Leggero Grivel, have been used to conquer the
3 highest peaks in the world, the everest, the K2, and the Kangchenjunga.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN
1818
The Grivel family of blacksmiths, started to transform their
production of agricultural tools in what would later become
mountain equipment. So in a sea of scepticism the
first ice axe was born.
The English engineer Oscar Eckenstein was received with similar scepticism when he asked Henry Grivel to
manufacture the first modern crampon in history.
1936
1986
1909
1929Henry’s son Laurent came
up with the brilliant invention of the two front points,
allowing climbers to stand face on whilst attacking the steep
ice and snow gradients.
INNOVATIONTIMELINE
New management led by Gioachino Gobbi was convinced
that over a hundred years of tradition and conquests, the brand name and the company’s location were a recipe for future success.
1982
Grivel’s super courmayeur system, with its spare and inter-changeable picks and shovels,
established itself as market leader.1986Grivel first carbon
fiber shaft in the world!
Rambo crampon: a rigid crampon with a stable
platform and no vibrations. Forged front points were
added for the first time, a huge improvement.
1993
Grivel presented its new crampons with four different binding systems, suitable for all types of boots and different functions. The use of plastic for the first time would
find many imitators!1994

The Machine:the ice axe that
revolutionised the design of technical tools.
From now on this was the shape that set the standard for everyone!.
Grivel installs a solar paneled roof and starts to produce its goods with solar energy.
1996
In 1998 experience gained from competitions spread
the idea of climbing without leashes, Grivel was the first to present an ice axe with a crook in it aiding leashless climbing: top machine.
1998
Grivel resolves the problem of snow build up under crampons with the first pro-active anti-balling plate. This gets rid of the snow with every step taken, using its flexibility and the alpinist’s movement. Other manufacturers have tried to find an alternative to this Grivel patent but the truth is that no other real alternative exists!
2004
2007
Monster and its flexible shaft appears in.
Manic competitioners, boulderers, dry toolers
and total-dry fanatics all adopt Monster that isn’t just a step forward in ice axes but an extremely
efficient extension of hands for anchoring on the most
difficult terrains.
The ultra lightweight Matrix ice axes and
Rambo evolution 4 crampons: easier to fit, lighter and better for the latest generation’s new
posturing.
2010
2011
Grivel introduces avaTar the first ice axe designed for magnesium techology, like Formula1.
The magnesium climb revolution.
The new Quantum ice axe range continues this cutting edge tradition
introducing a carbon composite material used in the aerospace industry.
Our composite Quantum ice axes are the lightest in the world, lighter than
those in carbon fibre, lighter than those made with any other material.

HOT DROP FORGING
The fibres in steel are internally aligned in a random sequence, these can be re-aligned in which ever direction we want when the steel is heated to a certain temperature and then “ironed out” by beating it and forcing it into the desired alignment. This operation, followed up by heat treatment (what was once known as “tempering” that fixed permanently the internal structure), is precisely known as “hot forging”. It is how the best characteristics and the desired form are obtained from steel. No other process has ever, and ever will, better this one: quiz a specialist in metallurgy and he’ll confirm it.
When using crampons on snowy terrain an anti-balling device is absolutely essential as it stops the snow building up between the crampons’ points that would otherwise increase the risk of slipping.Grivel was the first company in the world to supply all their crampons with an anti-balling device, convinced that it is an indispensable safety factor.This new pro-active dynamic system was invented and patented by Grivel in 2003. The alpinist’s weight puts a downward pressure on the device with every step taken and it springs back when the foot is raised.As the alpinist walks the snow that has built up between the points is simply ejected, with no extra effort and it works every time in all situations.No other system works in any way as efficiently as Grivel’s.

COMPOSITE MATERIALS
LIGHTNESS
HIGHLIGHTS • HIGHLIGHTS • HIGHLIGHTS • HIGHLIGHTS • HIGHLIGHTS • HIGHLIGHTS
Composite materials (or composites for short) are engineered materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties.These materials do not occur in nature, but are the result of a three dimensional combination of at least two chemically diverse materials with a separate interface. The new combination has physical/chemical properties not found in the original materials.This technology is used to produce the Quantum range of ice axes combining light alloy with carbon fibre. The combination represents the cutting edge today in the manufacture of mountaineering equipment.The same philosophy, also used in sails technology, is applied in the VX21 material utilized for manufacturing our Alpine range of rucksacks where the Cordura fabric used for the basic structure is reinforced with netting in Dacron, increasing the material’s mechanics without making it heavier.
Lightness is the ultimate challenge. It’s not just a question of the laws of gravity. Everybody would love to shrug off the weight of daily life, reducing its burden. It’s Man’s ultimate aspiration. Hearts beat faster on hearing the word. Inhaling it makes heads spin. This breath of freedom makes life appear more “up there” than “down here”.Grivel has always followed the holy grail of lightness according to the philosophy: lighter means faster means safer.Our composite Quantum ice axes are the lightest in the world, lighter than those in carbon fibre, lighter than those made with any other material.Our new Air Tech helmet is the best compromise between weight, safety and aeration.

In the past ice axes and crampons had to be very versatile: there was only one type, used for everything. Now there’s a diffe-rent model for every sub-discipline: for beginners and for experts, for ski touring and snowboarding, for high altitude and for the high stresses of “dry tooling” and competition. The diagram below illustrates the different requirements: from the ea-siest at the bottom to the most technical at the top (the letters are repeated in the description of every product). This is so that everyone can choose the product that is most appropriate: yellow denotes the suggested use and green the perfect one. A for ski touring, B and C for traverses and easy climbs, D and E for classical and technical alpinism, F and G for ice falls and goulottes, G and H for modern mixed, dry tooling and competition.

Grivel has for nearly 200 years led the de-velopment of Ice Climbing equipment, but to move ahead in this rapidly changing “fast &furious” new age of technology and mate-rials, we decided to make a radical improve-ment in our approach to development.This is the reason we decided to create a new dept. a real Laboratory for Development, a place where we can explore the possible and beyond.With all these recent changes in materials and design we chose to invest in this bright future, brought about by mixed climbing, competition and rising standards.
To head this new department we have brought in a new face, Stefano Azzali a man devoted to climbing and climbing equipment, no stranger to high tech radical materials.Stefano’s work in this field of new technolo-gies and avantgarde design qualifies him to lead “Grivel’s Racing Development” (Grivel Reparto Corse).It’s almost second nature to a man coming from Modena, the home of design, engineering and above all “Speed”.We look forward to the future as we are proud of our past.

BOOT SIzERANgE Of
uSEASYmmETRIC ANTIBOTT
CRAMP-O-MATIC
A well known system which relies on a nylon speed lever at the rearand a stainless steel front bale to hold the boot.Quick to put on, these bindings are perfect for plastic mountaineering boots that have a rigid sole and substantial heel and toe welts.The stainless steel safety strap, which was invented by Grivel, is permanently mounted on the front bale and prevents total loss of the crampon should it be forced off of the boot.
NEW-CLASSIC
An evolution of the Classic binding.Both front and rear plastic 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.The single strap closure system is so simple we may not need to provide instructions; the New Classic is therefore ideal for rental programs and fi rst time users. This system is simple and reliable, quick and easy, but it does take up a bit more space in the rucksack.
NEW-MATIC
An evolution of the Cramp-O-Matic system which utilizes the C-O-M rear bale and lever.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 being used.It is a simple and efficient binding, which is far more versatile than the original Cramp-O-Matic style. The harness is made from the strongest, most durable plastic available, which was developed for the ma-nufacture of alpine ski bindings.Obviously it cannot last forever, so please, after long and severe use replace the harness the same way you would resole trekking boots or rock climbing shoes.
SKI-MATIC
Totally new binding system specific for ski touring.It considers the technical needs of users together with the search of simplicity and lightness. The new front bail is “bomb proof” because it adapts easily and perfectly to the modern ski touring boots. Compact storage and minimum weight for transportation.Warning: the front binding fi ts modern plastic ski touring boots and it is not guaranteed for traditional mountain boots.

find the weak linkWe all love the comfort and versatility of the Daisy-chain. But in its traditional version it can lead to wrong uses and become therefore dangerous.In fact no DC on the market is guaranteed to the CE values of 22kN, like the quick draws or the carabiners.Therefore it can be the “weak ring” of the system, mainly when used in belaying. The pockets of a classical daisy chain have a very low loading strength which never exceeds the 2kN because they are designed for static load only, and consequently the only safe way to use a daisy chain as a sling is between the two end loops. The Dyneema sling is so thin that can cut itself when in traction. Grivel has stu-died the problem over a long period of time, and has come up with the problem solving GDC. Today Grivel can offer a chain guaranteed to 22kN in every loop and every point! No more possibility of error, and no risk of mistake or dangerous maneuvers.

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. Anyo-ne used to the French side will find the other my-sterious 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. Created in 1818, by a family of blacksmiths with Walser origins,
Grivel was a modest family affair that 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!
Today 180 years later, Grivel, still basically one large family, continues in its balancing
act between tradition and progress, between for-ging and aerospace technology, between intui-tion and R&D.
Grivel Mont-Blanc has achieved all possi-ble certifications: from TUV GS (Sichereit
Gepruft) for product quality to ISO 9001-Vision 2000 for our management system and even the ISO 14001 environmental Certification for envi-ronmental compatibility.
In May 2009 the company opened a new pro-duction unit in a much bigger space where it
is easier to manage the different lines of produc-tion. This will help our flexibility in the face of the new demands that come in daily from around the world. This new set up means that we can widen our range of products and maintain our avant-garde position in the marketplace.
The new location has allowed us to change to solar energy making our production cleaner
and more eco-friendly. Since 2010 all the energy needs are produced by our photovoltaic panels.
