Grivel Air Tech Evo Ice Axe + Long Leash Evo Yellow, 48cm

The Grivel Air Tech Evo is built for objectives where the terrain shifts mid-day: a glacier approach that steepens into a snow ridge, or a ski mountaineering route where walking conditions turn technical without warning. The hot-forged steel head holds the balance needed for clean, controlled swings, and the aluminum G-Bone shaft stays rigid through the full stroke without the added bulk of a heavier tube. Four lengths cover the range from shorter technical routes to longer glacier crossings, matching the axe to the objective as much as to the climber. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The G-Bone shaft's lateral grooves keep the axe rigid without adding thickness, so it swings cleanly on steeper pitches without the flex you'd feel in a plain aluminum tube. The Long Leash Evo is already dialed for most conditions out of the box, which means one less thing to sort out at the trailhead."
