Compatible with all Blue Ice axes and with most ice axes on the market with their adjustable elastics, these blade and adze protections will keep your ice axe sharp and protect your equipment.

The Grivel Axe Guard is a plastic accessory created to cover the tip of the blade and the adze of the ice axe. It serves as protection from the sharp parts for the backpack and its contents. Also adaptable to ice axes with a hammer.

The Grivel Easy G Leash is a simple leash with a broad supportive loop of material around the wrist that goes tight when pulled down. A loop is fitted around the shaft of the ice tool so that when the wrist is pulled up and away from the tool the wrist loop loosens easily. A good simple design.

The Black Diamond Ultralight Ice Screw is the lightest ice screw in the world. 45% lighter than Black Diamond Express Screws make these guys ideal for fast and light Alpinism and ski mountaineering or for those that need to carry large racks of screws for top end winter climbing. Ultralight screws feature an aluminium body with steel tip to shave weight and retain a keen cutting tip. The innovative wire-gate Express handle folds out and has two different clip-in positions with color-coding to help differentiate length.

The Black Diamond Viper has an adjustable upper hand rest which is easily secured or released with a quick Flick Lock system. The hand rest can be as low as the TPU hand grip or as high as the shaft mid-point. The hydroformed shaft extends through the grip for maximum rigidity and a responsive feel and as before the Viper still has a clip-able spike so it can be clipped with the Spinner Leash amongst other things. The Black Diamond Viper provides good all-round performance for ice and alpine climber.

The Blue Ice Aero Lite Ice Screws have been built with an innovative 3-tooth steel bit for technical mountaineering and are the lightest ice screws currently available on the market. The body and hanger have been made with aluminium to minimize weight, whilst the foldable crank is stainless steel. They are available in 4 lengths of 13cm, 16cm, 19cm and 22cm.

The Crux 3G AK37 RT is an incredibly tough, yet lightweight rucksack made from a 40% Kevlar® and 60% Cordura® composition with a minimalist waterproof design. So you don't need an extra waterproof bag liner which adds weight and annoyance. With very few seams and composed with 40% Kevlar, this pack is likely to last you for ages and will thrive where most normal rucksacks will perish.
