Grivel Condor self-arrest grip

By mengley Ranked #614 - Telemark Skiing January 17, 2007

The Condor is a nice alternative to the Whippet when you have a spare pole available, or you like being able to stow the pointy-bits when not in use. The handle is solid and comfortable (though the enclosed grip is a snug fit with gloves on). The pick locks in place well and has the same profile as a Grivel ice axe. The hood over the "lock-knob" could be a little shorter and the knob itself could be easier to operate with gloves on, but filing down the hood should help. Also, the split-ring that attaches the leash is too large and needs to be either replaced or bent to fit. Still, a nice piece of gear that needs only minor tweaks to work well.
