Grivel - Monte Bianco Gold - Ispigge

If you've ever wanted to give someone the Piolet d'Or, the golden ice axe of alpinism, now you can! Meet the Monte Bianco Gold from Grivel! The axe with the gold-coloured pick comes in its very own wooden box. The beautifully crafted ice axe is a tribute to the development of alpinism and has been engineered using advanced technology to ensure that it is perfectly suitable for easy mountaineering adventures.

Hot-forged in a single piece, the head comes equipped with a serrated, crescent-shaped pick that plunges nicely into ice and firn and can be removed just as easily. Constructed from CarbonWood Composite material, the shaft has a stunning aesthetic and fits well in the hand, and the carbon fibre provides high levels of durability. Thus, the shaft complies with the CE standard.

The Monte Bianco Gold ice axe from Grivel may have been built using modern materials, but it retains a certain charm that reminds us of days gone by.
