Been using Grivel G12s for the last few years whilst climbing mainly III or so.
Looking to push on a bit over the next couple of seasons, so is it worth moving up to something a bit more technical??
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers

G12s are fine for IV/V in my opinion.

In reply to Superchop75: I was in a similar situation to yourself a few years ago. I had G12s and climbed mainly III and a couple of IV's. I bought some G14's to see how mono's worked and found they helped on routes with a fair amount of ice and they were very good on bullet hard ice encountered in Morocco. They are a gas heavier than G12's.

I have not used the mono's on mixed as most of my winter stuff has been snow and ice but others will post to say they are helpful.

Having said that I have done my hardest technical climbing wearing G12's and they were fine.

Cheers Davey

G12's are more than fine and anything more technical will be a liability on easier ground..
