From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel Alp Wing Ice Axe (Fall 2007) The Alp Wing Ice Tool by Grivel was designed from the ground up for technical climbing on the world's greatest faces. The modular head is hot-forged from ChroMoly steel and features an internal tongue-in-groove mechanism to lock both pick and adze (or hammer) into place. The clearance curve allows one to reach over bulges without levering the pick out of the ice but it isn't radical enough to prevent hammering pitons. The lower part of the shaft is insulated with a natural rubber grip. The shaft is straight enough to be easily driven into hard snow. Two pick options are available: the Goulottes T-rated pick, specifically designed for strength and durability or the Evolution B-rated pick, which is thinned down to improve penetration into dense, hard ice. Alp Wing is delivered with the Easy G leash and with the Horn, a detachable pommel that allows the tool to be used without a leash.

From Backcountry.com:
"Designed for technical alpine climbing, the Grivel Alp Wing Ice Axe is ideal for anyone getting on steep ice in the mountains. A slightly-bent upper shaft reaches over bulges and facilitates hooking on mixed terrain, while the straight lower shaft allows the Alp Wing to be easily planted in the snow. The Horn on the bottom of the handle protects your knuckles from bashing into the ice and provides hand support for leashless climbing. It can also be removed if you need a clean shaft profile for planting the shaft on moderate terrain. The included Easy G leash can be easily operated with any size gloves on and provides excellent support for steep ice, making it perfect for the mountains. Whether you're doing winter routes in the Rockies or spending a season in the Andes, the Alp Wing is exactly what you need to succeed."
