"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is the ice axe I recommend for anyone starting out in glacier travel or classic mountaineering. It’s light enough for long approaches but feels secure in hand. The removable plastic cover is a nice touch for insulation, and the leash keeps it handy on steep traverses."" We count on the Grivel G Zero Ice Axe when we head into glaciated terrain or tackle classic alpine routes that call for steady footing and secure self-arrest. Designed with a simple steel blade and adze, this axe delivers reliable performance without unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal companion for everything from beginner mountaineering to seasoned glacier crossings. The lightweight aluminum shaft is easy to handle all day long, while the removable plastic cover adds thermal protection and makes gripping the head more comfortable in frigid conditions. An included adjustable leash keeps the axe tethered where we need it, whether we’re crossing crevasses or ascending firm snow slopes. With CE and UIAA certifications backing it up, the G Zero is a proven tool ready for alpine adventure."
