Grivel Candela Yellow, One Size

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Grivel Candela is one of those tools that feels unnecessary until the first time you actually need it, and after that it never leaves my harness on ice days. Clearing packed ice out of a screw mid-pitch without the right tool is genuinely frustrating, the hook threads cord through Abalakov tunnels cleanly, and the retractable blade means I am not carrying a separate knife for cord work at the anchor."Ice climbing anchors demand precision under conditions that make precision difficult. Cold hands, time pressure, and ice screws packed with debris are realities on the wall, and the Grivel Candela was designed to address all three in one compact tool that clips to your harness and disappears until you need it. The steel hook threads cord through Abalakov tunnels cleanly and efficiently, removing the fumbling that comes with improvised solutions at the anchor. The integrated reamer clears ice buildup from inside screws to restore performance and protect the threads between placements, and the retractable blade handles cord and webbing cutting without requiring a separate knife on the rack. At 30 grams it is light enough to forget about and small enough to store inside an ice screw without damaging the internal surface, which means there is genuinely no reason not to have it with you every time you leave the ground on ice.
