Moosejaw says: The Condor by Grivel is best suited for steep skiing, mountaineering, trekking adventures.The Condor is a self-arrest grip that allows conversion of existing three-section or one-piece ski poles. The resulting hybrid is a technical tool that improves safety on steep terrain, whether skiing or climbing. Condor is a perfect companion to an ice axe for classical mountaineering, allowing an upright body position to facilitate efficient breathing. The pick may be retracted when it isn't needed. The grip is available separately or securely mounted on the upper tube of a three-section pole. The tubes are sized to accommodate lower sections of most poles, and offered in alloy or carbon-fiber. A positive mechanism locks the hot-forged pick in open or closed position. The dual-density grip protects and insulates the hand, allows multiple grip positions and features a removable wrist loop that may be positioned at top or bottom of grip.
