Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Grivel Nepal Light Ice Axe (Fall 2006) Nepal Light is entirely built from light alloy materials. The head and pick are hot-forged from a single piece of alloy then the stamped alloy adze is welded to it. The shaft resists 270kg when tested using UIAA/CE methods, and is finished with an asymmetrical spike. Nepal Light is made for ski touring, ski mountaineering competition, and classical mountaineering. Be aware that technical performance is traded away in favor of reduced weight. If you might have to use the axe on real ice, an Air Tech Racing, which is only five ounces heavier might be the better choice. Specs & Tech: Blade: classic, negative Materials: light alloy Construction: hot-forged blade, welded adze CE - Shaft Resistance: 270 kg B"

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Nepal Light is Grivel's response to market demand for a light weight alloy axe. The body and pick are hot, drop foged from one piece, then the stamped adze is welded to it. Ideal for ski mountaineering, ski touring, classical mountaineering, and high altitude expeditions where weight is a consideration. If you are looking for a light weight "do anything" axe, look no further than the Grivel Nepal Light."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Nepal Light is Grivels response to climber demand for an ice axe manufactured entirely from light alloy materials."
