Grivel

Condor Self-Arrest Ski Pole

There's no disputing the fact that it's nice to have a self-arrest tool attached to your ski pole when you're booting up a steep and icy couloir, but it's not always necessary for the descent. With a retractable steel blade, the Grivel Condor Self-Arrest Tool offers peace of mind when the stakes are high, but it can be retracted when it's safer not to have a sharp piece of metal in front of your face. The blade is locked into place with a screw for a solid feel, while a full-wrap handle protects your hand from ice and the blade if you do take a fall. The pivoting basket adjusts to changing slope angles, ensuring maximum purchase when traversing.
