The Grivel Ghost Ice Axe is a basic and super light tool designed for fast and light mountain use where every gram counts. The lightest ice axe ever made by Grivel the Ghost with a steel head and strong G-Bone shaft is for people who want the lightest possible tool but are not willing to sacrifice the strength, durability and safety of a genuine steel head and alloy adze. The shaft is slightly curved helping to improve clearance, the hold on the snow and the ability to facilitate self-arrests. The Ghost is also equipped with a small functional adze for clearing snow from ledges and cutting steps and is the ideal choice for ski touring or ultra-light winter hiking.
