Grivel
G1 S.A. Plus w/leash
Ice Axe
The G1 is a non-technical ice axe ideal for trekking, classic snow climbs, rental programs and schools. The carbon-steel head features a classically inclined pick with teeth along half it's length. The head are hot, drop forged in one piece. The Ergal shaft surpasses UIAA norms for strength and durability.
S.A. means "self arrest" - the possibility to brake a fall or even a simple slide by using the ice axe in the climber's grip properly. This S.A. version has a slightly curved shaft that penetrates the snow at a better angle than a straight shaft, increasing its resistance to extraction, therefore increasing the possibility of self arrest.
