Lightweight Grivel GZERO Ice Axe 66 for Classical Alpinism, Black

I used this axe on a trip up to Gannett Peak, Wyoming. Ice axe performs well in all conditions. Lightweight, Sturdy and ready to use.

Took this on a summit climb up Mt. Algonquin and it did the job nicely. Helped me motor through some ice sections and some areas that were steep with very little traction.

Recently used this on a winter hiking trip to Mt Washington, NH. practiced arresting with it and held up like it should. Great to have for the vertical ice and steep inclines. Don't leave home without it!

I have used this axe all over the PNW, from Rainier to the North Cascades, and it's a great. Very light and nice l balance. I have a Black Diamond Venom, but honestly I generally go back to this Grivel axe for soft, snowy climbs. I'm 5'9 and have the 66cm and it's perfect, but the 74 would be fine too. I recommend this axe for classic mountaineering.

, this is a really nice axe comes with a fairly good-sized shaft and Spike it also comes with a cover for the head overall a really nice Alpine tool

Very happy with this. Great quality.

Decent ice axe. Feels a little flimsy. Good as a stabilizer though on glacier/permasnow

It does what it's supposed to. My only complaint is the strap. You cannot adjust the diameter of the wrist loop which causes it to slip off very easily and that renders the strap almost completely pointless. You might as well not have the strap at all because it actually slips off and gets in your way.
