Classic mountaineering ice axe -
The G1 Yellow ice axe from Grivel has been designed for mountaineering, glacier hiking and glacier trekking, as well as the specific requirements of these activities.
The steel blade has been hot forged from a single piece in Italy's Valle d'Aosta region, making it highly resistant to wear and tear and giving it greater inertia for planting its bevelled tip in the ice.
What's more, the slightly curved handle is ideal as a walking stick for glacier trekking or mountaineering. This makes it the perfect technical tool for cutting your way through blocks of ice by carving steps into the snow using the adze of the steel axe in complete safety. Last but not least, the EVO fibre strap means you won't lose your ice axe.
