Grivel Air Tech Hammer G-Bone with Long Leash Ice Axe, 48 cm

Meet a purpose-built alpine tool that blends lightness, stiffness, and precise handling. The Air Tech Hammer G-Bone extends Grivel’s renowned Air Tech line by adding a hammer head forged from a single piece of steel and pairing it with the agile G-Bone shaft. The result is a responsive tool that feels natural in your hands on snow, ice, and mixed terrain.

The G-Bone shaft offers improved grip and performance, contributing to steadier placements and traction. A subtle curve just below the head creates extra clearance for anchors on varied terrain, while the lower straight portion bites into snow with minimal effort—helping you move more smoothly through challenging sections.

• G-Bone shaft enhances grip and control during placements and traction.
• Head is hot-forged from a single piece of steel for rigidity and durability.
• Curved section below the head increases clearance on diverse terrain.
• Lower straight shaft penetrates snow with less effort for easier advancement.

Optional features include the Easy Slider with Spring Leash system, a hand rest that slides to the top of the shaft when sunk in snow or down to the bottom to support hand in traction. This design supports fluid transitions between steps and helps reduce hand fatigue during longer ascents or steep sections.

• Easy Slider with Spring Leash offers smooth handling in deep snow and steep terrain.
• Hand rest moves with you, providing support where it’s needed most.
• Inspired by the Air Tech Evo, this version remains impressively light—under 500 grams.

Weighing 458 grams (16.1 oz) and CE/UIAA certified, the Air Tech Hammer G-Bone balances compact hammer functionality with Grivel’s alpine heritage. The Chromolly steel blade and curved shaft deliver a versatile tool suitable for classic alpine routes, glaciated terrain, and backcountry adventures. The design accommodates a Long Leash option for controlled management in exposed settings, while maintaining a nimble and responsive feel in the hands.
