Vintage 50s Chamonix mountaineering crampons
These authentic glacier crampons were used by mountaineers to provide grip on ice and snow, with sharp spikes preventing slips during alpine climbs. Worn beneath sturdy boots, they were essential equipment for navigating glaciers and steep terrain.
Hand-forged in Chamonix during the 1950s, this pair was made by Claudius Simond, the renowned French equipment maker whose family of blacksmiths had been forging ice axes and crampons in the Mont Blanc region since the 1860s.
Today, these vintage crampons make striking decorative pieces, perfect for adding character to a cabin, lodge, or mountain-inspired interior.
After about 70 years, the crampons remain in good condition and have developed an authentic oxidized patina that enhances their historical appeal. The metal has been carefully treated with antique wax, providing a protective layer and a subtle, refined sheen.

Vintage 30s mountaineering crampons
These vintage French crampons were designed to provide additional traction on icy and slippery terrain. Made from sturdy metal, they feature a series of sharp spikes designed to grip the ground and help prevent slipping. Their compact construction reflects the practical approach to early outdoor and mountaineering equipment.
The front is stamped “PARA-CHUTES BREVETÉ SGDG”. The inscription refers to a French patent designation, with SGDG standing for Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement, meaning “without government guarantee”. This historical wording was used in the French patent system and indicates that the government did not guarantee the invention’s novelty or merit.
Crampons of this type are also associated with work on mountain railways, where secure footing on icy terrain was essential.
A fascinating piece of early outdoor equipment, this pair would make a distinctive decorative addition to a cabin, hunting lodge, alpine-inspired interior or collection of vintage mountaineering memorabilia.
After many decades, the crampons remain in good vintage condition and have been carefully treated with antique wax to protect the metal and give the surface a subtle natural sheen. Please note that the original leather straps are no longer present.
