Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe - 2006

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. The Air Tech Racing Ice Axe weighs only 14.1oz and is still durable enough to take the abuse that alpine climbing and mountaineering dishes out. Its hot-forges pick and adze take a beating that would reduce most lightweight ice axes to scrap metal. Updated with a slightly curved shaft, the Air Tech Racing Ice Axe is now easier to use for self arrest and clears ice bulges better.

Bottom Line: Loose the weight and keep the strength with the Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe.

Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe

Great Axe.
I once did a hike without an axe, thinking the weather was too nice, and te trail not too steep. Well the nice weather meant molten snow that re-froze into hard ice!Hairy!
I decided to buy this axe so I will never have an excuse to leave it behind. Worked! Works great.
Function aside, I love the classic lines of Grivel, unlike the funky shapes on other axes.

This is a decent all purpose axe, which is high praise considering its ridiculous lightness. Sometimes ultralight gear isn't worth the price, this is!
