Grivel The Tech Machine Total Ice ice axe and dry tooling

The Tech Machine Total Ice+ & Simple VARIO by Grivel is a technical ice axe developed for steep ice walls, advanced dry tooling, and high-level technical mountaineering. This cutting-edge configuration leverages the extraordinary versatility of the aluminum head with the interchangeable Vario system, specifically equipped with the Total Ice+ Vario blade and the clean Simple Vario rear insert, a combination designed to optimize penetration and keeps the scale needle at just 639 grams for 49 centimeters in length. The structure relies on an aluminum handle with a G-Bone grooved profile that maximizes strength and counters torsional deformations without adding weight to the tool, ensuring a smooth swing arc and consistently precise strikes. The strongly angled design of the handle increases the distance from rocky or icy structures, working in perfect harmony with an offset grip covered in ergonomic rubber that conforms to the shape of the hand to ensure a secure hold during athletic passages. Equipped with a durable steel tip at the base and certified with international certifications CE EN 13089 type 2 and UIAA 152, this ice axe represents the ultimate choice for climbers who demand maximum control on the most severe and vertical terrains.
