Grivel Munro

£40.00

This ice axe has been Trail’s favourite ice axe for the last couple of years and it continues to set the pace on the slopes this winter. It wins as it would be very difficult to equip an ice axe any better for the typical British winter walker. You get the basic set of features that all winter walkers need ...

Black Diamond Raven

£55.00

The Black Diamond Raven has been a long-term favourite ice axe with Trail. The rubber shaft grip and leash have now been removed; however the axe is still very comfortable to hold, particularly as the head is well-contoured for the hand. You get a straight shaft and a gently curved head. The adze and pick are both well-designed for cutting ...

Grivel Brenva

£75.00

This ice axe weighs 574g for the 58cm version, making it lighter than many other axes yet it is also rated as technical, so it is strong enough to be used for rope belaying. It is also exceptionally well finished off, and so it feels wonderfully comfortable in the hand thanks to a little extra smoothing of the contours around ...

The Black Diamond Venom is a tried and tested workhorse. Being modular, it can take either a standard drop Alpine-type pick or a reverse-curve technical pick – making it a very versatile tool. It also comes in a hammerhead version so that you can have a matched pair for front pointing. The Venom is regularly chosen for use in lightweight ...

Edelrid Gladius Pro 2011

£110.00

The reverse curved pick alludes to the technical nature of the Edelrid Gladius Pro, but don’t be deceived, for although it is very handy on steep ice and mixed ground it is just as able on the gentler slopes. There is sufficient clearance with the pick to allow a self arrest, and the shaft is not too curved that it ...
