The Horn supports the hand, protecting it from violent blows against the wall.
It is also a safe and balanced support for the ice axe against ice.
The Horn can be detached when a completely free spike is requested.
The Horn can be fitted on all Grivel ice axes, even on the earlier models that have a spike with a clip hole.
The Horn is a must have for “leashless” climbing.
WARNING:
The Horn has been designed only as a support for the climberÂ’s hand.
It must never be used for belaying either the climber or partner.
It must never be used for rope manoeuvres.
