The new Monte Bianco ice axe by Grivel was designed for traditional requirements of classical alpinism. The head was forged in a single piece with modern style serrations. The head and shaft are joined together with light alloy: the best material has been used for every bit of this ice axe - where we it didn't exist we invented it! The shaft made in CarbonWood Composite brings together the pleasure of wood with the strength of carbon. This model is certificated to CE norms. A tribute to tradition using today's most advanced technologies. An attractive and welcome companion for many years to come!

The X Monster by Grivel Monster upset the accepted rules about climbing equipment in 2004-2005. Although a bit extreme the Monster concept was appropriate to the era and accepted by the climbing community. That said - Monster is specifically adept on overhanging terrain - therefore not for everyone. Now Monster is complemented by the X Monster - which is a less radical tool featuring a slightly straighter shaft and a grip better suited to vertical and less steep terrain. X Monster's pick is thinner to improve penetration and make it less destructive to fragile ice features. It is also shorter but due to narrow profile of the shaft (slightly thicker than the pick) the whole head of the tool may slice between icicles or into narrow cracks to reach deep anchor points. Where you expect to see an adze you'll find a small hammer shaped like a curved nut – don't expect too much but it will drive a pin or torque in a crack better than nothing. X Monster's shaft is the same flexible spring steel as that of Monster - which allows those accustomed to it to manipulate the tool differently than one with a totally rigid shaft. This flexibility is generally beneficial - rarely a disadvantage. A hole in the shaft will take a releasable leash and the shaft is finished with a small but effective tooth to allow traction in the piolet canne position. CE certification as a category 2 PPI.

The Air Tech EVO Hammer Ice Axe by Grivel answers the guide's demand for a light - full-strength mountaineering tool that can pound pitons or pickets and still be comfortable in hand for climbing snow. The Air Tech Evo Hammer features a hot-forged ChroMoly steel head with T-rated strength and a 4mm-thick pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The hammer is pinned to the main body of the head. The slight movement absorbs vibration when hammering and prevents the pick from breaking – a problem with fixed hammers in the late-80s when they were popular in Europe. This also allows a longer hammer - which is easier to grab and to aim with. The T-rated (400 kg) shaft is slightly curved - giving 1.5cm more clearance than a straight shaft. Air Tech Evo is available with the Long Leash or the Slider (a sliding pommel that supports the fingers when using the axe in piolet traction positions but does not compromise easy penetration when driving the shaft into firm snow). Specifications: Weight: 506 gm (48 cm); 520 gm (53 cm) Size Range: 48 - 53 cm Blade: Classic - positive Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: Hot-forged head
