Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe - 2004

The Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe is ideal for mountaineers searching for the lightest possible tool without sacrificing the strength and durability of a genuine, hot-forged steel head. A new version of the lightest, hot-forged steel ice axe in the world. The shaft, tested according to the UIAA methods, resists 280kg and is finished with an asymmetrical, light alloy spike. This full strength ice axe weighs an astounding 14.1oz.

Bottom Line: Fast & light is where you're going with this axe. Full strength, reliability.

Air Tech Ice Axe

By:

What a great axe! I upgraded from my old and heavy Black Diamond Alpamayo. This axe is so lightweight, that you won't even know that you are carrying it.

I used it on Mt. Agissiz earlier this month and it performed extremely well for glissading and crossing steep snowfields. I initially wanted a Ghost that is only a few ounces lighter, but it didn’t feel right in my hands and besides, this axe has a heartier steel head. If you are looking to upgrade your old axe or just want a lightweight one, this one is for you.

For lightweight alpine climbing

This axe is so light that you don’t notice it on your pack at all but still has a strong enough head to be useful. The positive-clearance pick penetrates ice better than most ice axes, making it a good choice for more technical routes. If you’re planning on doing some industrial scale chopping with the adze, get a heavier axe.
