Alp wing pinky thing

[Jake_Gano]

Ok, my new Grivel Alp Wing has a removable pommel thing. My old one that I bought last year didn't come with one. I'd like to retro-fit it with one. Does anyone know where you can find it online? Thanks.

Jake,

do you mean the "trigger" things? you can get them from Grivel NA http://www.grivelnorthamerica.com/index2.html or I bet John could order you some. now that you've got 2 tools, you're coming ice climbing with me after christmas.

Thanks kurt, but triggers are different. Those are intended to give you a grip up the shaft, what I'm talking about is at the very bottom on the spike. I think BD makes something similar for the viper. I wish I could find a picture of what I'm talking about. I'm always game for some ice, but temps are super warm, or so I hear.

promountainsports had them a week or two ago, I am sure they'll ship it too.

 

http://www.promountainsports.com/ice-axes.shtml, then use "Accessories" on the left.

I was at Climb Max here in Portland last week; I could swear I saw them there. Could be wrong, though.

Thanks, Rafael, exactly what I'm looking for.

The horns can also be ordered directly from Grivel North America. They are backordered, but they should be receiving them in the next few days. They indicated that they have shipped very few of them out to stores, so there may not be a whole lot of them floating around yet.
