Grivel Quantum Tech Ice Axe

The Quantum Techby Grivelhas the same geometry as the Matrix Tech but the shaft is made from carbon composite material. The B-rated shaft - which offers TaaKoon-like clearance to wrap around the most defiant ice mushrooms - places the wrist in a neutral position on vertical and overhanging pitches. Quantum Tech features the same replaceable - hot-forged ChroMoly steel head as Matrix Tech. The head is available with an adze - or a hammer. The tool weighs in at 520g. It is designed to be used without a leash. Hand support is provided by a comfortable injection-molded 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.Carbon is only cool if it’s lighter than a similar alloy product. Quantum Tech is lighter than its alloy cunterpart - vibration is dampened - it doesn’t conduct temperature as efficiently. In short - Quantum Tech is cool.Features: BLADE Positive - radical MATERIALS ChroMoly CONSTRUCTION Hot-forged head - Carbon Composite shaft RANGE OF USE Sport-mixed ClimbingSIZE(cm)50 WEIGHT(g) 520
