Grivel Reparto Corse Carbon Force

Reparto Corse Carbon Force

Rating

My vote: None ( 6 avg )

Description

For nearly 200 years Grivel has led the development of ice climbing equipment but that is not enough for Grivel. With all the recent changes in mixed climbing, competition and rising performance standards, Grivel has created a new department. A real Laboratory for development where they can explore the possible and beyond. Rapid changes in materials, styles and design lead to create "Grivel’s Racing Development" or Grivel Reparto Corse to add further innovation to Grivel’s rich legacy of standard setting equipment. Created for the modern drytooler and competition climber where the route is more rock than ice, the Force is the ultimate in hooking and drytooling performance. The Force’s shaft angle allows matching or changing grip anywhere on the shaft without the pick shifting.

Alpinist Gear Review rating 4/5

while the design looks too strange to be functional, and the price tag steep, I have to admit the performance of this odd shape signals a notable advance in ice axe technology. Based solely on mixed climbing performance, I would give this axe five stars without hesitation, but I feel my aforementioned criticisms do detract from the overall product. Nonetheless, Grivel has produced a forward-thinking design sure to give any (well-funded) mixed climber an advantage.

If you know of a good product video that should be here, let us know, and we'll put it up.
