Grivel Monster Ice Tool (Fall 2007)
Grivel
The Monster by Grivel was designed as a dry-tooling specific tool. Climbers in Europe have finally seen the folly of bending and breaking high performance ice climbing tools on difficult mixed routes where dry-tooling terrain comprises a more significant component of the route than ice. The hot-forged - one-piece head is not modular - and for the price interchangeable picks should not be expected. The beefy (5mm) pick has plenty of teeth on top and bottom - and is hardened to stand up to the abuse of the hardest rock. The shaft is cut from a slab of ChroMoly spring steel. Its shape offers plenty of good clearance and a variety of hand positions. The sticky - rubberized grip area presents both a fatigue-reducing Pull position (aka the Trucker Honk) and a Swing position to efficiently arc the tool into the ice. The grip has been modified from the original to be a bit more aggressive. The shaft may be customized for comfort (each Monster is supplied with a section of Snake to pad the edges of the shaft). Monster is available in a variety of colors and graphics. Specs & Tech: Blade: reverse - positive Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: hot-forged head CE - Shaft Resistance: EN 13089 (plenty strong)

Grivel Piccolo Light Hammer (Fall 2007)
Grivel
The Piccolo hammer by Grivel is 1.3 ounces lighter than the Standard Hammer. It will change the swing of the tool but this is not necessarily bad. The size of its face is adequate for pounding pitons - but the profile tough to hold when climbing snow. Weight(g): 64 (Lightweight hammer)

Grivel Rambo IV Crampon (Fall 2007)
Grivel
Our range’s most technical crampon the Rambo IV by Grivel is now at its fourth evolution - integrating Grivel’s active anti-balling plate and simplifying all adjustments: just one screw to adjust the length - just one screw to substitute a point - just one screw to position the spur. Rigid crampon with anatomic curve. Asymmetrical forged mono-point - extremely easy to substitute with just one screw - integrated with a half point external lateral support point: a new solution for external support. Structure in rigid plastic acts as a spacer for the screws and as support for the supple rubber anti-balling device. Accordeon in supple rubber holds together the front and rear parts of the anti balling system. Four retention points for descent. Moveable spur. Completely patented.

Grivel Slider for Ice Axes (Fall 2007)
Grivel
The Slider from Grivel is a totally new idea and a great accessory for axes. The Slider is a hand rest that can slide right to the tail end of the shaft when hand support is needed when climbing leashless and can also slide right to the top end when the ice axe is used for a belay or to bear weight or in walking mode. The top elastic blocker - which secures the slider to the head of the axe - is included. N.B. It can be mounted on ice axes fitted with the new aerospace rivets.

Grivel Super Asymmetrical Plate G10/G12/G14 Crampon Add-On (Fall 2007)
Grivel
The Super Asymmetrical Plate G10/G12/G14 by Grivel is ideal when some modern ice and alpine climbing boots feature a curved last that more or less matches the natural curve of the foot. Clamping a straight-framed crampon to a curved profile boot puts the front points in an odd position - off the end of the 2nd and 4th toes. The Asymmetrical center bars solve this problem. A more interesting use of the Asymmetrical bars is to put them on boots with a straight last - which will put the front points in a more medial location. This requires the climber to open his/her hips to address the ice - which allows him/her to raise the leg higher before the knee hits the ice. Try it. How's your turn-out? Specs & Tech: Materials: ChroMoly steel

Grivel Taa-K-Oon Ice Tool (Fall 2007)
Grivel
The Taa-K-Oon by Grivel - originally designed as a dry-tooling specific tool - immediately won its place on the steepest waterfalls and hardest alpine routes in Europe. Grivel’s top ambassadors (Christophe Profit - Ezio Marlier - Bubu (Bole) - Manu Ibarra - Jerome Blanc-Gras - Stevie Haston - and Erhard Loretan all agreed that it was THE choice in the Grivel line for the hardest pure ice and alpine conditions. Clearance in the upper shaft area is the same (22cm) as Top Wing - Tech Wing (which Taa-K-oon replaces) or Racing Wing while the lower dogleg curve places the hand further from the ice (or rock) - providing more overall clearance than any other Grivel tool. The Horn (pommel) and trigger are removable to use Taa-K-Oon as an alpine tool - and the spike is ChroMoly steel to stab easily into ice or drive through hard snow. Choose (3.5mm) Cascade pick for high performance on ice or Mixte pick for strength and durability while dry-tooling. (Taa-K-Oon is a patois word used to describe a strong wind the blows from the mountains and knocks down all the trees) Specs & Tech: Blade: interchangeable Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: hot-forged head CE - Shaft Resistance: 400 kg T

Grivel X Monster Ice Tool (Fall 2007)
Grivel
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. Specs & Tech: Blade: reverse - positive Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: hot-forged head CE - Shaft Resistance: EN 13089 (plenty strong)
