Grivel Matrix Tech

The Matrix Tech by Grivel is a more technical variant of Matrix Light designed for use on steeper, variable terrain. It features the same hot-forged Chro-Moly steel head as Matrix Light The one-piece head is mated to a two-piece, T-rated light alloy shaft, which offers TaaKoon-like clearance to wrap around the most defiant ice mushrooms, and to place the wrist in a more neutral position on vertical and overhanging pitches. The tool weighs in at 575g and is designed to be used without a leash. Hand support is provided by a comfortable pommel, which is tipped with a tungsten carbide spike to provide stability and traction in the piolet canne position. The Trigger may be attached to distribute the load and offer more precise control. Vince Anderson used the Matrix Tech on his winter ascent of the Walker Spur with Steve House and Marko Prezelj, and during his visit to frozen waterfall-infested Norway.

The tool practically swings itself. It requires very little input to generate enough head velocity to drive the pick into all but the coldest, hardest ice.
