I ordered a set of Grivel G12s online but they accidentally sent me the G22s...

They said they are happy for me to keep the G22s but I don't do any hardcore ice climbing, I primarily do alpine mountaineering/glacier travel. Does anyone know how the G22s handle this kind of thing? I can't find a lot of info on them, Grivel's website seems to say they have a very wide range of use and that they would be suitable for what I'm doing but the few reviews I can find suggest the G12 or G14 is much better for glacier travel/alpine climbing.

Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this so I can decide whether to exchange them or not.

Cheers

I'd exchange them.

I seem to sink deeper and sometimes slip with my Lynxes vs my Air Tech Lights. The aggressive front points and other spikes seem to cut through snow rather well.

See if you can sell them for a profit.
Otherwise, exchange.

I wonder if you'd be interested in finding the wide ringe of use. If you’re unwilling to do that, you can exchange them.

My G12s are my all around go-to crampon and have served me well for everything you have mentioned. I'd exchange them for the G12s based on what you intend to use them for. I don't like the aggressive points for glacier and snow climbing.
