Grivel Easy G axe leash
$28.99
The Easy-G leash allows rapid manipulation: brilliant support on steep terrain but quick to open with a gentle sideways pull. It is efficient in the mountains where one continually transitions between the head and shaft of the tool. This leash represents real progress in an unexpected field.



   
Grivel Fast Ice Axe Leash
$25.99
The Fast leash is an old school, handcuff style leash that may be attached to a hole in the head of the tool or a hole in its shaft. Once locked in it is difficult to remove the hand from this leash, which is good in some situations and the broad cuff provides plenty of support.

Grivel Long Ice Axe Leash
$15.99
The Long leash is suitable for ice axes that have an attachment hole in the head. It works best if the hole is aligned with the shaft of the axe although it may be secured through a hole in the pick as well. It is a simple leash designed to maintain control of the axe and in a pinch it can provide enough support for steep climbing in the piolet traction position. The Long leash is delivered standard on many Grivel general mountaineering axes.

mainpic_alpha.gif Omega Pacific Alpha Ti Ice Axe
$189.99
Alpha tools are truly unique thanks to several innovative features. For starters, they’re available with two different head materials. For hard, dense ice, most climbers prefer the dampening and power that cast steel provides. Others may opt for the lightweight titanium tool which is easier to swing and control.
Both feature stainless steel picks that, when severely torqued, will deform and twist before they ultimately fail … a comforting characteristic when you’re reefi ng on your shafts with your picks cammed in a shallow crack! They also sport adjustable front and back ends; simply adjust the pick angle to match the steepness of the terrain. When traveling, fold the pick and adze along the shaft and you’ll never rip through your expedition duffel again!

$183.25
The Scorpion is Stubai's newest innovation. A direct result of years of refinement and engineering, this tool reads like a wish list for ice climbers everywhere.

Clip-able wrist leash is the most comfortable we've ever used, and makes screw placements a cinch. The Scorpion is truly a vertical ice tool for the millennium and beyond.

Trango Captain Hook ice axe
$179.99
Trango's Captain Hook is one mean tool. The investment-cast stainless steel head will accept a WaffleHammer ™ or a the Fighting Adze™ and the picks are ready-to-go when you get the tool. The droop is right for swinging and hooking, the teeth have the right side-bevel for easy removal, and the profile of the last tooth has that nasty little hook on it that won’t blow when you’re cranking off a tiny little drool of ice.
Trano uses a proprietary process to vulcanize the sticky rubber grip to the lower shafts so they’ll never come loose. Plus, you can customize the fit with a sharp knife without destroying the grip. The “Hook” is supplied with either a Hammer or Adze and the appropriate pick. Although available in three shaft styles, we only carry the Clearance Shaft: The bend is at the top for clearing bulges and hooking icicles. Great for big ice. Rounded platform grip for control and support.
