Since 1818, Grivel has been driven by innovation. The lightweight G Zero Ice Axe blends Grivel's classic quality and attention to detail with its desire to create the best, most technologically advanced modern alpine equipment. The G Zero's one-piece head provide maximum strength at minimal weight, and the axe features a neutral, ergonomic design that makes for all-day climbing comfort. An innovative insulating blade cover allows you to hold the axe by the head without risk of injury and also protects against contact with cold metal.
