The Grivel Air Tech EVO is a classic mountaineering ice axe engineered for glacier travel, alpine routes, ski touring, and traditional mountaineering objectives. Designed for balanced performance across varied snow and moderate ice conditions, it delivers reliability, durability, and precise handling in technical mountain environments. The hot-forged, one-piece steel head provides strength and secure penetration in firm snow and ice, while maintaining controlled swing dynamics for efficient placements and self-arrest capability. The lightweight aluminum G-bone shaft increases structural resistance while reducing overall weight, supporting efficient movement during long approaches and sustained climbs. An integrated rubber grip at the lower shaft enhances control when terrain becomes steeper. The Air Tech EVO is available in three configurations: No Leash With G-Slider With Long Leash Evo Each version differs only by the included retention system. Select the configuration appropriate for your intended use and preference. Certified to CE EN 13089 Type 2 and UIAA 152 standards, the Air Tech EVO is built for dependable performance in demanding alpine conditions.
