Grivel Mont Blanc

When Grivel invented and began making the world’s first modern crampons, based on the designs of Oskar Eckenstein, over 80 years ago they manufactured from the best quality steel that could be found; old rail road ties were cut up, reheated and forged by hand. Now manufacturing processes have been modernized and better quality steel is available.
