- Ultralight Mountain Climbing Axe
- Made from Quality Aluminum Alloy
- High Strength Alloy Head
The Nepal Light is Grivel's response to market demand for an ice axe manufactured entirely from light alloy materials.
The body and pick are hot, drop forged from one piece, then the stamped adze is welded to it. The shaft resists 270kg when tested according to the UIAA methods, and is finished with an asymmetrical spike. Nepal Light is made for ski touring, ski mountaineering competition, classic mountaineering of moderate difficulty, and for high altitude expeditions where weight is the determining factor.
Ideal for glacier travel and non-technical mountaineering. Unsuitable for ice climbing and technical routes.
