The Grivel Air Tech Evolution ice axe answers professional demands for a light, full-strength axe with technical features. The hot-forged chromoly steel head has T-rated strength and a thin (4mm) pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The clearance curve adapts to odd terrain features and protects your knuckles from the ice when your hand is choked up on the shaft. The T-rated alloy shaft is finished with a hot-forged steel spike that slices into hard snow. The Evo has a classical positive blade and a shovel, and comes with a long leash.—Vendor
