Grivel G1 Plus SA Ice Axe
$99.95 NOW $85
The G1 is a non-technical ice axe ideal for trekking and classic snow climbs. The carbon-steel head features a classically inclined pick with teeth along half its length. The head is hot, drop forged in one piece. The Ergal shaft surpasses the UIAA norms for strength and durability.

- The slightly curved shaft penetrates the snow at a better angle than a straight shaft, increasing its resistance to extraction. S.A. means "self arrest"
- Comes with simple long leash, equipped with a rubber tip protector
- Made from Carbon Steel
- Blade: Hot Forged
- Weight: 475gr / 16.7oz
Depending on the steepness of the slopes you'll be climbing, you may want to adjust this (go shorter for front-pointing on steep ice, longer for upright glacier walking). But this is a good reference for the standard routes on peaks like Mt. Rainier or Denali.
