Grivel

Thor Hammer

Forged in the heart of Grivel's cave-like workshop, the Thor Hammer pounds pitons and sets bolts on climbs like its ancient ancestor Mjölnir. Translated into English, Mjölnir stands for "grindstone" or "crusher," which is applicable for the Thor Hammer in that it grinds bolts into snow and crushes pitons into place. Its hot-forged chromolly steel construction is so solid that you'll probably pass this down to your youngster, he'll do the same to his boy, and so on and so on, until it becomes a family legend. Grivel included an elastic leash with a locking carabiner that is not recommended for climbing anchors or belays, but certainly saves your belay partner from falling hammers.
