DESCRIPTION

The Grivel Nepal S.A. Ice Axe is ideal for non-technical snow and glacier travel. A slight curve in the shaft allows you to place the spike more perpendicular to the slope for a secure placement in cane position. It also aids self-arrest by giving you an arch that's easier to push your chest against to anchor yourself securely. Perfect for beginning climbers and schools, the Nepal S.A's shaft curve speeds your learning curve.
