Antique 30s Eckenstein Climbing Crampons
€150.00
Antique 1930s Mountaineering Crampons

These antique climbing crampons are a rare and historically significant piece of early alpinism. The hinged 10-point design was developed by British engineer and mountaineer Oscar Eckenstein, and this particular pair was hand-forged by the renowned Italian blacksmith Henry Grivel, whose collaboration with Eckenstein revolutionized mountaineering equipment. The crampons are marked with the company name and the year 1936.

This iconic design greatly improved climbers’ efficiency and safety on ice and hard snow, marking a turning point in the evolution of alpine gear. These crampons are more than just equipment: they represent a milestone in the history of mountaineering.

They would make an exceptional display item for any mountaineering collection, alpine lodge, or curiosity cabinet.

Despite being nearly a century old, the crampons remain in very good condition. They have been carefully treated with antique preservation wax, providing a subtle protective sheen and helping preserve their surface for years to come.
