Grivel Trigger
Grivel Trigger
When I wanted to use my Quarks leashless, I attached these triggers (the Large fit well). The trigger gives an awsome feeling to the tool, and makes leashless climbing feel much more secure (when resting, the tool can just hang from your pointer finger). I highly recommend this attachment for anybody looking to turn a steep ice tool into leashless. The trigger can put extra strain on tendons, though, so it is recommended to keep the trigger low enough so that it does not separate your pointer finger too far away from the rest of the hand.
Good for hooking bad for swinging
These triggers came on my Taa-k-oons. It adds to my hang time and delays the pump by distributing the pressure between index finger (trigger) and pinky (horn). The problem is it changes the swing so the tool pivots on your index finger instead of the pinky. It is no big problem on a hacked up climb where you are mostly hooking, but on fresh ice the funky swing over stresses my index fingers. Also the trigger gets in the way when I flip the tool around to hammer pins. I don’t use the triggers any more.
Grivel Horn
The Horn can be fitted on any Grivel ice tool to provide a comfortable platform for leashless climbing.
Grivel Snake Hand Protectors
Customize your Grivel Monster ice tools by adding rubber Snake Hand Protectors to any place on the shaft where you want another grip.
Outdoor Research Screw Wrap
Pack your ice screws in the Outdoor Research Screw Wrap to keep them from poking holes in your gear.
