Description
Suitable for steep ice climbs and extreme dry tooling the Dark Machine X Ice Axe is a slightly longer version of the lightest T-rated tool for a technical performance that weighs a single pound. It’s the first in Grivel’s lineup to have a handle made out of carbon composite. Most light axes only use carbon in the shaft which includes the Dark Machine X except instead of using thicker heavier carbon at the attachments Grivel used carbon-wrapped aluminum to lighten up the weight while still ensuring proper stiffness for steep climbing. The ice pick is hot forged for a phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio and it’s completely modular so you can replace the pick with another or add adzes or hammers to the back.
