Grivel Air Tech Racing SA Ice Axe

Item #GRV0044 | 21 in Stock
5 Star Rating

For lightweight alpine climbing

By Backcountry.com Employee July 12, 2005

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.
