While Grivel's best selling Nepal SA and timeless Monte Bianco ice axes will assist you across a glacier and through easy terrain, Mountaineers will quickly find these axes left wanting on more technical climbs and steep pitches. To the uninitiated, they may look similar, but the security offered by a technical ice tool is leaps and bounds ahead of a walking or classical ice axe. Firm, easy, secure placements in waterfall ice and mixed pitches make your climb, and descent, a whole lot safer.
Extremely durable and yet still relatively lightweight, the Carbon composite shaft saves weight without compromising strength or rigidity. Grivel's Vario system allows for a range of hammers, picks and adzes to be interchanged on the North Machine Carbon's head, providing versatility for the alpinist who wishes to lap waterfall ice one week, and pioneer a new route or first ascent the next.

Grivel The North Machine with Adze
The North Machine Carbon comes fitted as standard with a hardened steel pick, increasing durability and reducing time spent filing to maintain the performance of your tools. Pair a set of North Machine Carbon's with Grivel's Double Spring Rotor leash and you will be well equipped for technical alpine climbing and ice climbing.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.
