Grivel Air Tech Evolution ice axe
$169.99
The Air Tech Evo answers professional demands for a light, full-strength mountaineering axe with technical features: hot-forged ChroMoly steel head has T-rated strength and a 4mm-thick pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The curve adds 1.5cm of clearance to adapt to odd terrain features, and protects the knuckles from the ice when choked-up on the shaft. The T-rated (400kg) shaft is finished with a hot-forged steel spike that slices into hard snow. Air Tech Evo is available with the Long Leash or the Slider (a sliding pommel that supports the fingers when using the axe in piolet traction positions but does not compromise easy penetration when driving the shaft into firm snow).

Grivel Alp Wing ice axe
$245.99
Alp Wing was designed from the ground up for technical climbing on the world’s greatest faces. The modular head is hot-forged from ChroMoly steel and features an internal tongue-in-groove mechanism to lock both pick and adze (or hammer) into place. The clearance curve allows one to reach over bulges without levering the pick out of the ice but it isn’t radical enough to prevent hammering pitons. The lower part of the shaft is insulated with a natural rubber grip. The shaft is straight enough to be easily driven into hard snow. Two pick options are available: the Goulottes T-rated pick, specifically designed for strength and durability or the Evolution B-rated pick, which is thinned down to improve penetration into dense, hard ice. Alp Wing is delivered with the Easy G leash and with the Horn, a detachable pommel that allows the tool to be used without a leash. Choose other blades at: http://www.yuccadune.com/aisle377.html

- blade: hot forged, interchangeable

Grivel Compact Black Ice tool
$99.99
The Compact Black was created specifically for alpine and waterfall climbers that require a short, light tool for pounding pitons, pickets or (say it ain’t so) old style ice screws. The tool is useful for guides that typically carry a long classical axe and need to hammer pickets. Climbers using modern leashless tools – often shaped like deer antlers and utterly useless for pounding pitons – in the mountains will find a place for the Compact Black in their quiver of tools. As an emergency tool it offers a big margin of safety relative to its weight. The head is hot-forged from a single piece of ChroMoly steel.
Blade: reverse, positive
Materials: ChroMoly Steel
Construction: hot-forged head
CE shaft resistance: 350 kg
Weight: 452 g (38 cm), 480 g (43 cm)

Grivel Easy G axe leash
$28.99
|
The Easy-G leash allows rapid manipulation: brilliant support on steep terrain but quick to open with a gentle sideways pull. It is efficient in the mountains where one continually transitions between the head and shaft of the tool. This leash represents real progress in an unexpected field.

Grivel Fast Ice Axe Leash
$25.99
The Fast leash is an old school, handcuff style leash that may be attached to a hole in the head of the tool or a hole in its shaft. Once locked in it is difficult to remove the hand from this leash, which is good in some situations and the broad cuff provides plenty of support.
Weight: 58 g
|
|
Grivel Free Ice Axe Leash
$25.99
The Free leash features a self-adjusting, lock-down style cuff to secure the wrist. One’s hand is released by hooking the web loop over the hammer or adze of the tool and sliding the hand down to open the cuff. The Free leash provides excellent support and allows a relatively easy exit to facilitate gear manipulation.
Weight: 46 g

Grivel Light Wing ice axe
$234.99
The Light Wing was designed for technical climbing on the world’s greatest faces. Its balance is superb and the swing natural enough to do all day (and night) long. The modular head is hot-forged from ChroMoly steel and features an internal tongue-in-groove mechanism to lock both pick and adze (or hammer) into place. The clearance curve allows one to reach over bulges without levering the pick out of the ice but it isn’t radical enough to prevent hammering pitons. There is no rubber insulation on the shaft, which is straight enough to be easily driven into hard snow. Two pick options are available: the Goulottes T-rated pick, specifically designed for strength and durability or the Evolution B-rated pick, which is thinned down to improve penetration into dense, hard ice. Light Wing is delivered with the Easy G leash and with the Horn, a detachable pommel that allows the tool to be used without a leash.

The tool designed for anchoring and hooking up, on mixed and ice. Ideal for first time ice climbers, who hate bashing their fingers against the ice and for who wants to maximise the dynamism of their movements.

Grivel Long Ice Axe Leash
$15.99
The Long leash is suitable for ice axes that have an attachment hole in the head. It works best if the hole is aligned with the shaft of the axe although it may be secured through a hole in the pick as well. It is a simple leash designed to maintain control of the axe and in a pinch it can provide enough support for steep climbing in the piolet traction position. The Long leash is delivered standard on many Grivel general mountaineering axes.
Weight: 34 g

Grivel Monster Ice Tool
$124.99
Monster was designed as a dry-tooling specific tool. Climbers in Europe have finally seen the folly of bending and breaking high performance ice climbing tools on difficult mixed routes where dry-tooling terrain comprises a more significant component of the route than ice. The hot-forged, one-piece head is not modular, and for the price interchangeable picks should not be expected. The beefy (5mm) pick has plenty of teeth on top and bottom, and is hardened to stand up to the abuse of the hardest rock. The shaft is cut from a slab of ChroMoly spring steel. Its shape offers plenty of good clearance and a variety of hand positions. The sticky, rubberized grip area presents both a fatigue-reducing Pull position (aka the Trucker Honk) and a Swing position to efficiently arc the tool into the ice. The grip has been modified from the original to be a bit more aggressive. The shaft may be customized for comfort (each Monster is supplied with a section of Snake to pad the edges of the shaft - click on the "more images" link to see the Snake). Monster is available in a variety of colors and graphics.
Blade: reverse, positive
Materials: ChroMoly Steel
Construction: hot-forged head
CE shaft resistance: 13089
Weight: 760 g (49 cm)

Grivel Ring Ice Axe Leash
$15.99
The Ring leash is the most basic model for retaining control of an ice axe. The rubber retention ring floats along the shaft keeping it within hand’s reach whether in the piolet canne or piolet traction position.
Weight: 30 g
|
|
Grivel Slider
$17.99
A totally new idea and a great accessory for axes The Slider is a hand rest that can slide right to the tail end of the shaft when hand support is needed when climbing leashless and can also slide right to the top end when the ice axe is used for a belay or to bear weight or in walking mode. The top elastic blocker, which secures the slider to the head of the axe, is included.
N.B. It can be mounted on ice axes fitted with the new aerospace rivets.

Grivel Spring Ice Axe Leash
$22.99
The Spring leash provides a convenient method of retaining control of an ice axe while allowing it to be switched from hand to hand according to direction of travel. The shock-corded tether is attached to an over-the -shoulder sling that sports a holster to stash the tool when both hands are needed to manipulate gear or clothing.
Weight: 80 g

Grivel Thor Ice Tool
$84.99
The Thor is an alpine hammer, not designed for use on extended big wall routes. The hot-forged ChroMoly head will stand up to years of abuse. The pick’s substantial beak easily hooks the eyes of pitons, and the tall rocker provides a good fulcrum for levering out recalcitrant pins. The “cleaner ‘biner” hole is bit narrow and requires a Neutrino or old style Bonatti D. A retractable nut tool is hidden in the alloy shaft. A natural rubber grip provides some sticky texture and absorbs vibration.
Blade: piton cleaning pick
Materials: ChroMoly Steel
Construction: hot-forged head
Weight: 448 g

Grivel X Monster Ice Axe
$124.99
Monster upset the accepted rules about climbing equipment in 2004-2005. Although a bit extreme the Monster concept was appropriate to the era and accepted by the climbing community. That said, Monster is specifically adept on overhanging terrain, therefore not for everyone. Now Monster is complemented by the X Monster, which is a less radical tool featuring a slightly straighter shaft and a grip better suited to vertical and less steep terrain. X Monster’s pick is thinner to improve penetration and make it less destructive to fragile ice features. It is also shorter but due to narrow profile of the shaft (slightly thicker than the pick) the whole head of the tool may slice between icicles or into narrow cracks to reach deep anchor points. Where you expect to see an adze you’ll find a small hammer shaped like a curved nut – don’t expect too much but it will drive a pin or torque in a crack better than nothing. X Monster’s shaft is the same flexible spring steel as that of Monster, which allows those accustomed to it to manipulate the tool differently than one with a totally rigid shaft. This flexibility is generally beneficial, rarely a disadvantage. A hole in the shaft will take a releasable leash and the shaft is finished with a small but effective tooth to allow traction in the piolet canne position. CE certification as a category 2 PPI.
Blade: reverse, positive
Materials: ChroMoly
Construction: hot-forged head
CE Shaft Resistance: 13089

Omega Pacific Alpha Ti Ice Axe
$189.99
Alpha tools are truly unique thanks to several innovative features. For starters, they’re available with two different head materials. For hard, dense ice, most climbers prefer the dampening and power that cast steel provides. Others may opt for the lightweight titanium tool which is easier to swing and control.
Both feature stainless steel picks that, when severely torqued, will deform and twist before they ultimately fail … a comforting characteristic when you’re reefi ng on your shafts with your picks cammed in a shallow crack! They also sport adjustable front and back ends; simply adjust the pick angle to match the steepness of the terrain. When traveling, fold the pick and adze along the shaft and you’ll never rip through your expedition duffel again!

ice or strange formations. Clip-able wrist leash is the most

Trango Captain Hook ice axe
$179.99
Trango's Captain Hook is one mean tool.
The investment-cast stainless steel head will accept a WaffleHammer
™ or a the Fighting Adze™ and the picks are ready-to-go when you get
the tool. The droop is right for swinging and hooking, the teeth have
the right side-bevel for easy removal, and the profile of the last
tooth has that nasty little hook on it that won’t blow when you’re
cranking off a tiny little drool of ice.
Trano uses a proprietary process to vulcanize the sticky rubber grip
to the lower shafts so they’ll never come loose. Plus, you can
customize the fit with a sharp knife without destroying the grip.
The “Hook” is supplied with either a Hammer or Adze and the
appropriate pick. Although available in three shaft styles, we only
carry the Clearance Shaft: The bend is at the top for clearing
bulges and hooking icicles. Great for big ice. Rounded platform grip
for control and support.
