Ok, so thats all very impressive but what about now?
Grivel has been a pioneer in modern mixed climbing, creating specific tools, see the Mixte blades, that have overcome huge technical difficulties. Just remember legendary feats like Welcome to the Machine, The Empire Strikes Back and Mission Impossible. Grivel pioneered leashless climbing with its products and solutions tailor made especially. Grivel was absolutely the first to believe in and support ice climbing competitions! In 2002 we won both the mens and womens Ice World Cup with Dmitri Bytchkov and Kseniya Sdobnikova. In 2002 Grivel produced an ice axe specifically for competitions and extreme climbing with a specially made head, rather than mutilating heads meant for other models, with its curved grip on the shaft anchoring is easy absolutely everywhere.
