An ideal choice for climbers who prefer the reduced weight and easy handling of an extremely technical tool that retains all the characteristics of a Grivel ice axe. Only 565 grams! Hot forged head in chromolly steel: no compromise over quality. Available with shovel or hammer. The shaft has a double angulation increasing the head’s opening and helping the wrist when in traction. Very efficient hand support with a little point in Tungsten Carbide for safety. The Trigger can be fitted to distribute weight onto all fingers. The new Tech Leash can be fitted.

Staff Comments:
Grivel makes some great all-around mountain tools and the Matrix tech offers the most bang for your buck. The Matrix is surprisingly lightweight and can tackle any type of terrain you throw at it. The shaft curvature maximizes clearance while maintaining the ability to plunge through snow as a piolet. Because it does not have the radical curve of many dry-tooling specific tools, it's a relief to have the giant plastic pommel at the spike end - knuckle bashing is pretty much impossible. I like how the curve near the head and the accordion-shaped rubber reinforcement protect your hands from the cold snow and metal shafts during steep snow daggering.
