The Grivel Matrix Light Ice Axe is a lightweight ice axe/ice tool for alpinists. Only 18.2 ounces!
An ideal choice for climbers who prefer the reduced weight and easy handling of a simple tool that retains all the characteristics of a Grivel ice axe.
Chromoly steel head is hot forged so the internal microstructure can be oriented to improve strength, and internal defects or porosity are minimized.
The angle in the shaft is high up as this maximizes the distance between shaft and anchorage points. The straight lower section of the shaft makes penetration easier even in hard snow.
Compatible with: The Grivel Horn can be fitted for comfortable and efficient support. The Grivel Trigger can be fitted to distribute weight onto all fingers. The Grivel Slider can be used to go leashless. The Grivel Tech leash can be fitted.
