Grivel Ice Axes The ice axe is the symbol of alpinism, the tool of the alpinist. Because it will be a companion for years to come, price should not be your only criteria for choosing a new ice axe; beauty, utility, durability are important factors. Nothing can be more beautiful than a hand-polished, hot-forged head on an axe made by a company with 184 years of experience.

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 The Nose knuckle protector $14.99 Latex safety device, for all ice axes, protects fingers from hitting the rock.

Grivel Lil' Monster $99.99 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 Liberty Ice Axe Leash $58.99 The Liberty is a handcuff style leash that may be easily unclipped from the shaft to facilitate gear manipulation.

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 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 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.
