TAA-K-OON
GRIVEL
Originally designed as a dry-tooling specific tool, the Taa-K-Oon immediately won its place on the steepest waterfalls and hardest alpine routes in Europe. Grivel's top ambassadors (Christophe Profit, Ezio Marlier, Bubu (Bole), Manu Ibarra, Jerome Blanc-Gras, Stevie Haston, and Erhard Loretan all agreed that it was THE choice in the Grivel line for the hardest pure ice and alpine conditions. Clearance in the upper shaft area is the same (22cm) as Top Wing, Tech Wing (which Taa-K-oon replaces) or Racing Wing while the lower dogleg curve places the hand further from the ice (or rock), providing more overall clearance than any other Grivel tool. The Horn (pommel) and trigger are removable to use Taa-K-Oon as an alpine tool, and the spike is ChroMoly steel to stab easily into ice or drive through hard snow. Choose (3.5mm) Cascade pick for high performance on ice or Mixte pick for strength and durability while dry-tooling.
Marko Prezelj recently wrote to us, "Takoon is now my first choice for mixed ground."
(Taa-K-Oon is a patois word used to describe a strong wind the blows from the mountains and knocks down all the trees)
