Comments about Grivel Nepal Light Ice Axe:

It's so light, you end up taking it places where you don't absolutely need an axe, but want an extra margin of safety. Although the length is too short for traditional piolet canne usage, it's perfect for glissade descents on less demanding slopes. The light weight makes you faster going up, and the safety of being able to self-arrest makes the downhill trip even faster. I have ~20 miles of usage on mine, primarily downhill glissade on mixed snow and ice, with limited anchor usage on ice, and the aluminum tip still has a sharp edge.
