Grivel The Tech Machine Ice Simple ice axe and dry tooling

The Tech Machine Ice & Simple VARIO by Grivel is a technical ice axe designed for steep ice, dry tooling, and technical mountaineering, ideal for those seeking maximum precision and reliability on vertical waterfalls. This model stands out for its aluminum head equipped with the modular Vario system, configured in this version with the combination of the Ice Vario blade and the Simple Vario rear profile, recording a total weight of 672 grams over a length of 49 centimeters. The robust curved aluminum handle utilizes G-Bone technology with a grooved construction, a solution that enhances torsional rigidity and structural integrity while reducing weight to offer an incredibly efficient swing and controlled handling. The pronounced curvature is specifically designed to optimize the usable space under ice fringes and protect the knuckles, while the offset grip with ergonomic rubber coating allows for a firm hold and millimeter control during dynamic strikes. Completed with a solid steel spike and fully certified according to the strict CE EN 13089 type 2 and UIAA 152 safety standards, it confirms itself as an exceptional tool for safely tackling the most challenging ice lines.
