Is the rubber grip removable? I like the leash and the added grip for cutting, but I imagine it's a pain for shallow probes.

No, that's not really removable; but is actually very low profile. Doesn't really get hung up that much when probing. You could maybe cut it off, but the axe shaft is recessed under the grip. I'd think this would be more of a pain than the grip would ever be. Ohhh, almost forgot... Or just go with the Ravin (no-grip) and add a leash. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Raven-Ice-Axe/BLD0243M.html
