Collection: Grivel

Founded in 1818 in Courmayeur, Italy, at the southern foot of Mont Blanc, Grivel is one of the world's oldest climbing gear brands. Originally a small blacksmith making agricultural tools, Grivel's mountaineering equipment business began with a request from a climber to produce an ice axe by modifying a hoe. In 1929, the company developed the world's first 12-prong crampons with front prongs. This has supported the pioneering of challenging routes in the Alps and the surge of first ascents of 8,000-meter peaks like Everest and K2, earning the trust of alpinists worldwide. Today, Grivel offers a wide range of essential gear for alpine and snow climbing, including ice axes, crampons, helmets, harnesses, and ice screws. Grivel continues to combine traditional forging techniques with cutting-edge metallurgy to create robust, reliable products. Grivel also offers designs tailored to each market, such as "Japan Fit" helmets tailored to the Japanese head shape. On this page, we sell Grivel ice axes, crampons, helmets, harnesses, and other used climbing and alpine gear.
