X Monster W/Adz

All the accepted rules about climbing equipment were upset during the 2004-2005 season by Monster. Lots of Grivel competitors tried to stop this stampede even using underhand methods. But the concept was right and today the less extreme X Monster has arrived. A highly technical ice tool for all grades of ice and all skill levels at an incredible price. The shaft is slightly straighter and the grip is better for vertical walls. The flexible shaft that so many climbers have recently discovered makes anchoring into cracks, including non vertical ones, easier and safer. Just remember the progress made on changing from rigid to flexible vaulting poles! The rear is almost a hammer shaped like nuts, ideal for anchoring and torquing in larger cracks on mixed terrain or with the a more classic shovel. A hole in the shaft can be used to attach a leash. Tiny anti slip claw at the end of the shaft. CE certification as a category 2 PPE.
