From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel Matrix Tech Ice Axe w/ ADZE (Spring 2008) The Matrix Techby Grivelis a more technical variant of Matrix Light designed for use on steeper, variable terrain. It features the same hot-forged Chro-Moly steel head as Matrix Light The one-piece head is mated to a two-piece, T-rated light alloy shaft, which offers TaaKoon-like clearance to wrap around the most defiant ice mushrooms, and to place the wrist in a more neutral position on vertical and overhanging pitches. The tool weighs in at 575g and is designed to be used without a leash. Hand support is provided by a comfortable pommel, which is tipped with a tungsten carbide spike to provide stability and traction in the piolet canne position. The Trigger may be attached to distribute the load and offer more precise control. Vince Anderson used the Matrix Tech on his winter ascent of the Walker Spur with Steve House and Marko Prezelj, and during his visit to frozen waterfall-infested Norway.The weight of the Matrix Tech is concentrated in the head where it belongs. The tool practically swings itself. It requires very little input to generate enough head velocity to drive the pick into all but the coldest, hardest ice. Features: MATERIALS ChroMoly CONSTRUCTION Hot-forged head CE - SHAFT RESISTANCE CE T-rated (400kg) SIZE(cm) 50 WEIGHT(g)575"
From Backcountry.com:
"Grivel's Matrix Tech Ice Tool tackles steep, technical ice and mixed alpine climbs with a highly curved shaft and leashless design. A large hole in the pommel provides a place to clip tethers, so you can get the full advantage of leashless climbing without risking a dropped tool from high on the face. Grivel's X Monster hot-forged pick withstands all the abuse that the mountains dish out on a set of tools. Best of all, the Matrix Tech Ice Tool puts smiles on the faces of all you ounce-counting alpinists out there with its low 20oz weight."
