The medium length Grivel Helix Ice Screw is designed for ease of use, and of course, is made with Grivel's legendary quality. You'll be unlikely to find another ice screw with the same quality/cost ratio.
The Helix has a symmetrical grip, which makes the first bite easy, and then the integrat handle on the grip makes the rest of the placement as hassle free as can be.
Other than fast and simple placement, the Grivel Helix is great for racking or clipping into with carabiners thanks to the shape of the ring.

Grivel: Forging a Place in History
From a blacksmith’s forge at the foot of the highest mountain in the Alps, Grivel have become world leaders in the manufacture of crampons and ice axes.
The oldest company in existence making equipment for Alpinism and climbing, Grivel began forging agricultural tools in a small, metal-working factory in Courmayeur, near Mount Blanc, in 1810. Nearly 100 years later Henry Grivel commercialised the first crampon prototype, using re-forged railway ties which provided the best-quality steel around.
Today, their Cramp-o-Matic, Air Tech and New Classic crampons, along with Munro, Brenva and Matrix ice axes, are used by climbers and Alpinists everywhere, helping to forge their reputation as masters of their mountain craft.
